Abstract:		 Detailed survey of three sites in Lowther Park was undertaken. A medieval settlement and a Romano-British settlement were surveyed in December 1996, whilst the deer park was recorded in January 1997. The deer park dated from 1283 or 1337, and was edged by substantial pale boundaries. It had been documented cartographically from 1683; evidence indicated that the area of the former park had not been subject to significant change. The park had been substantially expanded in 1683, and some of the deer park boundaries had remained in use as part of the later park. In places, the boundaries were marked by significant banks, up to 3-4m wide with quarry ditches on both sides. Boundaries which were re-used as part of the later park were considerably more prominent and substantial than those unchanged since the time of the original deer park. It was concluded that the surveys had reinforced the results of an earlier identification survey and confirmed the remarkable survival of early relict landscapes. Further detailed survey of other areas was recommended. [Au(abr)]
