There is an entry In the UK National Archives :-

might be worth chasing this up in realtion to the "Worgan" roots in St Briavels / Hewlesfield.

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ co-ords 354400,198760 will centre a view on the old monmument that is roughly to the north of today's Worgans Wood. You can also make out the route of Offas Dyke running through the wood.

The wood is not marked but Black Morgan Wood and James Thorn are !
