Abstract (en)

Considers the methodology of landscape archaeology and addresses the query: Where, in a designated piece of rural landscape before the Middle Ages, and looking outside and beyond any equivalent of the modern village or town, is the Christian church most likely to have been sited, and why, and at what density. Author's enquiry is confined principally to West Penwith, the Land's End peninsula, during the pre-Norman 11th c.
