Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Peat sealed under a colluvial fan prompted investigation of what was thought to have been a sudden change in the hydrology of the catchment. Significant archaeological deposits clearly remained in situ and further work was undertaken to investigate whether a brushwood structure constituted some form of hedge. In fact, it seems to have been a stockade for livestock control, operated by one of the abbeys. This work has provided a broad date for the landscape change from wooded, geomorphically stable, environment, to the characteristic bare, unstable slopes of the lakeland fells. It has also provided evidence for the catalytic activity and climatic deterioration that led to it. In addition, the analysis of over 100 well-preserved worked timbers from both the fence and the underlying brushwood coppicing has given insight into woodworking techniques and woodland management in late-medieval Cumbria.
