Abstract:		 An account of the history of this activity in the area, including details of cock-pits which can still be seen in rural and urban contexts as usually circular, raised platforms, either open or covered. They may also remain as earthworks in the countryside. In urban contexts the ring was sometimes sunken rather than raised, due to headroom considerations. There is much historical evidence for ownership and care of the birds and pits, as well as fluctuations in the involvement of various social strata. Artefactual evidence is apparent in the form of valuable cups, trophies and other objects -- which were often fashioned in silver and gold, and brass admission tokens. There is an `Appendix' (22--5) providing mostly historical, but some archaeological, evidence for fight locations in Northumberland and Durham.
