Mapping 'Flemish' settlements in South Wales : electromagnetic induction (EMI) survey at the villages of Wiston (Pembrokeshire) and Whitson (Monmouthshire)
Around 1112, a Fleming called Wizo settled in Wiston, a village in mid-Pembrokeshire. Together with other Flemings, he is believed to have influenced the morphology of settlements in South Wales. An in-depth morphological and metrical comparison with similar settlements in the medieval County of Flanders has not yet been attempted however. In order to allow such a study, a large-scale frequency domain multi-receiver EMI survey has been conducted in Wiston (Pembrokeshire) and Whitson (Monmouthshire), mapping former field-boundaries. This paper presents the results of the geophysical survey and... Mehr ...

Around 1112, a Fleming called Wizo settled in Wiston, a village in mid-Pembrokeshire. Together with other Flemings, he is believed to have influenced the morphology of settlements in South Wales. An in-depth morphological and metrical comparison with similar settlements in the medieval County of Flanders has not yet been attempted however. In order to allow such a study, a large-scale frequency domain multi-receiver EMI survey has been conducted in Wiston (Pembrokeshire) and Whitson (Monmouthshire), mapping former field-boundaries. This paper presents the results of the geophysical survey and first interpretation of the data in order to reconstruct these settlements’ morphologies.
