Abstract:

Volume presenting papers resulting from a five-year programme of detailed field study of deserted rural settlements throughout Wales. The project was set up to increase the level of understanding of rural settlement in Wales, and was also prompted by the sites' recognised vulnerability to destruction, and in order to create a basis upon which future management and protection strategies could be built. Work focused primarily, though not exclusively, on upland landscapes where field evidence is best preserved, and the site evaluations provide the most complete assessment of surviving remains in those areas to date. Following an introductory chapter, the main body of the volume divided into three parts: regional examinations, general themes, and conclusions and future developments. Papers explore settlement morphology, monastic upland exploitation, medieval and post-medieval settlement development and change, vernacular building traditions, regional variations and national characteristics, and environmental evidence. Includes Welsh, German and French summaries, and
