SDO19865 - Conflict in the Pre-Industrial Landscape

This project set out to ascertain how material evidence for military action and the landscape in which it took place can be better integrated into the investigation and management of the UK's historic environment. The project was planned in two stages. Phase One, upon which this volume reports, was designed as a resource assessment focussing primarily upon battles, involving the preparation of a gazetteer, an assessment of condition and potential with more detailed field examination of a number of representative examples, leading to a report that would include a design for Phase Two. The design of Phase One built on substantial experience already gained in Scotland; its outputs are offered to inform policy and assist management of land use change, the work of HERs, planners, and the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
