The history and archaeology of temporary medieval camps: a possible example in Wales

Christopher Taylor

Landscape History, 2019, vol. 40, issue 2, 41-56

Abstract: The paper begins with a discussion of the problems involved in establishing the location, layout and functions of temporary medieval camps in Britain. It then examines the historical and archaeological evidence for a possible camp created for Edward i in the spring of 1284 after his conquest of Wales. This camp may have been relevant for discussions of political, social, military and commercial matters between the victors and losers of the war, and held as a Round Table. But its actual location may shed further light on Edward’s deep belief in his symbolic inheritance.
