Abstract: |
The Mottisfont estate appeared to demonstrate the evolution of diverse landscape containing land that had been used long-term for arable, meadowland and woodland uses. It was a rare example of former monastic estate, with later accretions, that had survived intact, and was still managed from its original centre. There was evidence for prehistoric activity on lands just above the valley flood plains, but little direct evidence for Roman or early Saxon activity. The manor of Mottisfont entered the historical record as a manor held by the Archbishop of York at the time of the Domesday Survey. [Au(adp)] |
