Abstract
Chapters 8 and 9 looked at the sources and methods used to reconstruct early territorial arrangements across part of western Wessex and eastern Dumnonia. This revealed how the parishes which are familiar to us today were created through the fragmentation of a series of ‘great estates’. These in turn appear to have been produced through the subdivision of larger ‘early folk territories’. This chapter explores how the evidence from the study area compares to elsewhere in early medieval England, and determines whether there were any differences on either side of the Blackdown Hills.
