Extract

Habitation Names are * place-names which from their creation denoted inhabited sites such as homesteads, villages, fortified towns and even shelters of various kinds. Particular attention has been given to the study of these names because they indicate without ambiguity the former presence of Anglo-Saxons settled at readily identifiable locations. Attempts have been made to establish a relative chronology of habitation name types in order to chart the progress of Anglo-Saxon * settlement . However, there are problems attendant on this approach. The belief in the value of a relative chronology for habitation names depends to some extent on a model of the history of English settlement that was developed largely by nineteenth-century historians. This saw early medieval settlement as the progressive extension of a cultivated landscape with Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian pioneers founding new villages, clearing new sites, bringing virgin * woodland , moorland and fen under the plough. No doubt this was indeed a process which in part obtained. However, archaeology and historical geography increasingly demonstrate that the countryside in which the Anglo-Saxons settled was far less unexploited than was once believed. Some estates and land boundaries reach back through Roman Britain to the Iron Age. Place-name creation, it must be emphasised, was not place creation. Not all habitation names
