Anglo-Norman Parks in Medieval Ireland

Drawing on the author’s own fieldwork, this book surveys the archaeological evidence, place-name evidence, and historical research on parks of Anglo-Norman Ireland during the period from 1169 to 1350. The book examines the owners, management, and purposes of deer parks, timber parks, and pasture parks, and explains why they were less common in Ireland than England. The study also considers parks as symbolic landscapes and charts their decline and later reinvention. The book includes black and white historical illustrations and photographs of locations and ruins. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
