Abstract

Over a decade ago I suggested that in parts of East Anglia the basic pattern of fields and lanes was of late prehistoric, rather than medieval, origin. One example of such a putative relict landscape, around Scole and Dickleburgh in the claylands of south Norfolk, has recently been critically reassessed by David Hinton. In the article that follows Hinton's arguments are, in turn, challenged: but the opportunity is also taken to reexamine the real character and significance of the Scole-Dickleburgh system, and of other supposed relict field systems, in East Anglia and elsewhere.
