Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and preliminary landscape survey was undertaken on behalf of the Hertfordshire County Council as part of the Council's strategic review of its land holdings and management policies. The project suggested that the area was part of an ancient landscape that had retained its pastoral character despite changing patterns of land use. A rectilinear system of land division arranged on a co-axial basis had been tentatively identified. It may have been of pre-Roman date, possibly even belonging to the Bronze Age period. Nevertheless, many of the existing field boundaries were of relatively recent (post-medieval) date but they had been imposed on an older, though more extensively arranged, pastoral system of land exploitation.
