Abstract
The deserted village of Eske, East Yorkshire
B English
Keith Miller
5 - 32
A combination of documentary sources, measured ground survey, fieldwalking and aerial survey is used to reconstruct the history and morphology of the former riverside village and township of Eske in the Hull valley of Holderness, East Yorkshire. The account describes the changing layout of the medieval village (which included a planned extension containing building platforms and crewyards), its `long-strip' arable field system, carrland meadows, pastures and turbaries, drainage works and boundary features, together with details of landholding and organisation. The evidence for medieval plot layout, building construction, house types and crewyards is discussed in the context of other sites in eastern England, and changes in village morphology and agriculture are considered in the context of regional environmental and climatic change. The village was substantially depopulated during the late-fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and its later history, which featured extensive marshland reclamation, is outline and illustrated with contemporary maps.

Manure factories?; The post-enclosure high barns of the Yorkshire Wol...
Colin Hayfield
33 - 45
The article outlines the characteristics of high barns, and describes case studies from the north-western part of the Yorkshire Wolds which constitute part of the recording work being carried out by the Wharram Research Project. The author argues that these high barns developed as a direct consequence of the needs and difficulties faced by Wold farmers following enclosure. They served as outposts from the main farmstead and were used for the shelter of animals, fodder and equipment and for the accumulation of animal dung for manure.
The documents of landscape history: snares and delusions
Paul D A Harvey
47 - 52
The author discusses the problems associated with using documentary sources in studying landscape history, including their unreliability and tendency to give conflicting information. The article stresses the need to take into consideration the original purpose of the document when assessing its evidence, as well as the need to be aware of omissions from the record, particularly in relation to boundary records and maps. The evidence provided by pictures is also discussed, including that of temporary features and land use, as well as their possible inaccuracies.

Paul Everson
53 - 63
The article offers an analysis and interpretation of a section of Offa's Dyke and adjacent land initially identified by observations based on aerial photographs. It also discusses the processes and results of non-excavational field survey, the arguments and considerations it deploys, and the strength and validity of the conclusions reached by these methods. It includes

The author describes the evidence provided by maps from the later historical period which show details of surviving open field systems, and in particular of strip holdings. The importance of comparing this evidence with field evidence is discussed.
Field survey at Grafton Regis: a village plan explained?
Anthony E Brown
73 - 77
The article describes the results of a programme of fieldwalking and survey work carried out at the village of Grafton Regis in Northamptonshire between 1983 and 1985. The earthworks to the east and south the village are described, along with results of the fieldwalking programme, including finds from prehistoric times to the post-medieval period. The author argues that, from this evidence, the existence of an early occupation site had an important bearing on the topographical development of the medieval and later village.
