Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Research undertaken for the author's MA at the University of Exeter assessed the extent to which hamlets in Devon, thought to be common in the medieval period, shrank to become single farmsteads from the later Middle Ages to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The methodology and sources used to examine shrinkage are outlined in this summary article. The study confirmed, in the fourteen parishes looked at, that shrunken hamlets occur extensively throughout Devon and that the majority of medieval isolated single farmsteads examined are the result of contraction from a previous hamlet. However, these must be seen in the context of a dynamic settlement pattern in which the growth of a farmstead into a small hamlet and then back to a single farmstead was a widespread phenomenon through the Middle Ages. Moreover, the survival of archaeological remains affects the available picture of settlement shrinkage. LD | ||
