Description

This article contrasts two areas, one in southern England which has been progressively enclosed since the Bronze Age, the other in central Spain which has largely remained unenclosed; indeed, is still undergoing the process. The nature and circumstances of enclosure are contrasted and on the evidence of how the Spanish landscape is utilised, some traditional interpretations are queried of how the prehistoric and Roman landscape of Wessex functioned.
