Abstract
A `relict landscape' in south-east Hertfordshire: archaeological and topographic investigations in t...
Stewart Bryant
Brian T Perry
Tom Williamson
5 - 16
The evidence of field survey, excavation, documents and maps is combined to suggest an extensive `organised landscape' of pre-medieval date in southeast Hertfordshire. This survives in part in the form of modern roads and boundaries, but in part as earthworks buried within areas of ancient woodland. It is suggested that this, and other `co-axial' landscapes in England, may have originated through the subdivision of an initially much sparser network of droveways and boundaries, associated with the management of livestock and the exploitation of upland wood-pastures.
Four possible nemeton place-names in the Bristol and Bath area
Richard Dunn
17 - 30
The paper discusses the possibility that four places in the Bristol and Bath region derive their names from the Celtic word nemet or nemeton meaning a `sacred place'. A detailed examination of the topography of each place is presented together with what is known about the archaeology. This analysis suggests significant similarities between the places and that they may all have a long history of being ritual sites. Some comparisons are made to other places in Britain with names that are generally thought to derive from nemet. The paper concludes that the hypothesis that the four places near Bristol and Bath derive their names from nemet has some merit, but further research is needed in terms of understanding the archaeology of the places and the linguistic derivation of their names
Rethinking the early medieval settlement of woodlands: evidence from the western Sussex Weald
Diana Chatwin
Mark F Gardiner
31 - 49
The assumptions underlying the interpretation of the early medieval settlement of woodland are challenged through a detailed study of the Weald in western Sussex. The patterns of usage of woodland in England were very varied, and it is argued that each area needs to be looked at individually; that systems of woodland exploitation did not simply develop from extensive to intensive, but may have taken a number of different forms during the early medieval period. In one area of the Weald, near Horsham, the woodland appears to have been systematically divided up between different estates. This implies that woodland settlement may not always have developed organically, but that this type of landscape could have been planned. It is argued that the historical complexity of woodland landscapes has not been recognised because the evidence has been aggregated.
The evolution of the Cornwall and West Devon landscapes as a result of industrialisation from the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth century
Adam Sharpe
65 - 70
Paper describing the results of research into the changing landscape of Cornwall after industrialisation in the mid-eighteenth century. This resulted not only in landscapes of mining and industry but in the creation of new patterns of settlement and the display of wealth. The transfer of skills from the county to other parts of the world paradoxically led to a decline in its fortunes but the richness of this landscape heritage led to the World Heritage Site bid described in the paper.
Debate: south Hampshire, `east Wessex' and the Atlas of ru...
David A Hinton
71 - 75
The author contests some of the claims made by B K Roberts and S Wrathmell in An atlas of rural settlement in England (London, 2000) and Region and place. A study of English rural settlement (London, 2002) with regard to the southern, coastal areas of Hampshire; the geology, history and settlement distributions of the areas on the east and west sides of the Solent are discussed, with reference to historical maps and to the maps produced by Roberts and Wrathmell.
