Description: "This extensive report details the archaeological investigations of the field systems and occupation sites, finds and environmental material, and documentary evidence. Two final chapters set out broader conclusions from the evidence for the field systems, settlements, and economy, and set the area in its wider context." "The research has provided an unprecedented opportunity to study the reclamation, occupation and economy of a large tract of marginal landscape through a considerable period of time."--Jacket.
