Abstract: |
The camp was established in the 13th century by Hugh de Courtenay. The creation of the deer park resulted in the desertion of a number of farmsteads or small hamlets. After displacement of the park in 1538 only a small amount of enclosure occurred. The camp did, however, lie within the south-eastern corner of a rectilinear field system dating from the mid-19th century. A survey showed the remnants of a relatively short lived medieval agrarian landscape, preserved as earthworks. The evidence consisted of banks, ridge and furrow within the site, and a small complex of medieval structures outside the site. [Au(abr)] |
