Bronze Age Settlement in the Welsh Marches

By John Halstead

Archaeological evidence for Bronze Age (c,2500-750 BC) settlement in the Welsh Marches is limited and patchy with the focus of attention traditionally set on monuments and graves of the period. Despite this, John Halstead re-examines data from the Sites and Monuments Record relating to domestic settlement with a view to providing a better understanding of the nature and form of settlement locales and other activities during the period and assessing questions of settlement continuity, discontinuity and dislocation. Making inferences from site specific data and plotting these on maps of the area, he finds evidence for some degree of continuity in settlement locales and environments, perhaps with some residential mobility within these.
