Some Relict Landscapes in Westmorland

In the study of relict landscapes the definition of layers or phases may be logically necessary but can be fundamentally misleading. The real world normally involves a continuum of activity, in which continuity is more important than cataclysmic change. Detailed field maps of landscape survivals in a Westmorland township are used to formulate a possible temporal framework of development, which casts doubt upon existing chronological assumptions and illuminates the processes of village development. The discussion shows how complex multi-period landscapes, including both relict features and functioning elements, can be recorded, interpreted and presented with a measure of reinterpretable objectivity
