Medieval Settlement Research No. 37, 2022

The journal of the Medieval Settlement Research Group (MSRG), a long-established, widely recognised and open multi-disciplinary research group that facilitates collaboration between archaeologists, geographers, historians and other interested parties.

Medieval Settlement Research is the journal of the Medieval Settlement Research Group (MSRG), a long-established, widely recognised and open multi-disciplinary research group that facilitates collaboration between archaeologists, geographers, historians and other interested parties. The Group is dedicated to developing understanding of rural settlements and their associated landscapes between the 5th and 16th centuries AD. To achieve these aims, the MSRG organises Spring and Winter Seminars each year, offers research and travel grants, awards the annual John Hurst Memorial Prize for the best postgraduate paper, and publishes an annual journal, Medieval Settlement Research. The journal is an internationally recognised publication containing research papers, scholarly articles, fieldwork reports, news and reviews. Although the MSRG’s interests are concentrated primarily on British and Irish medieval landscapes between the 5th and 16th centuries AD, it actively encourages wider chronological and pan-European perspectives. Medieval Settlement Research therefore welcomes papers relating to Britain, Ireland and the rest of Europe that help us to improve our understanding of medieval settlements and landscapes from the level of individual sites to the international scale.
