THE history of hill farming on Exmoor is told in a new book.
THE story of hill farming on Exmoor will be told for the first time in a new book.
The Archaeology of Hill Farming on Exmoor is full of air photographs, reconstructions, detailed maps and plans, and charts the story of hill farming since the medieval period.
The story has been made possible thanks to archaeological evidence revealed after two years of systematic survey work using information gathered in the National Mapping Programme survey carried out by the Exmoor National Park Authority and English Heritage.
It is divided into three sections – The Royal Forest, The Commons and The Farmland.
The book is available from National Park Centres in Dulverton and Dunster and at englishheritage. org.uk
