Sutreworde
Sutreworde was a village and manor in historical record, also noted as Suðeswyrðe, located within the Teignbridge Hundred. The modern identity of this village has been the subject of academic debate, but is thought to have been within the parish of Lustleigh, but not at the location of the current village. Suðeswyrðe The village was recorded as Suðeswyrðe in the 899 will of King Alfred the Great, being left to his youngest son Æthelweard. Domesday book This was later recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Sutreworde, Anglo-Saxon for 'south of the wood'. The manor was controlled by Ansgar the Staller as part of a 1,200 acre farm holding (4.9 km2) plus a large area of forest. Unusually for the Domesday Book, beekeeping was mentioned as a key activity of the parish. Identity Scholars have previously identified Sutreworde as being the modern village of Lustleigh, but this was disputed by others. Oswald Reichel identified Sutreworde as Lustleigh in his 1897 work on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hunter's Tor, Lustleigh Cleave
Hunter's Tor is a granite tor located in the parish of Lustleigh, on Dartmoor. It is one of two tors with the same name, the other being in the Teign Gorge. Location Hunter's Tor is in the Lustleigh Cleave, on the apex of a ridge above the River Bovey. The tor is a natural viewpoint, and there is visibility to Haytor, Bowerman's Nose and Hamel Down. Hill fort The tor is the location for an Iron Age hill fort, probably due to the views and defensibility of the site. The hill fort was an oval enclosure which is long and wide, and it has three concentric ramparts with shallow ditches to the South East, and two to the North West. Settlement There is some evidence that the land adjacent to the tor was settled after the Iron Age as the manor of Suðeswyrðe, later Sutreworde Sutreworde was a village and manor in historical record, also noted as Suðeswyrðe, located within the Teignbridge Hundred.

Iron Age England
Iron () is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from la, ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal that belongs to the first transition series and group 8 of the periodic table. It is, by mass, the most common element on Earth, right in front of oxygen (32.1% and 30.1%, respectively), forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. In its metallic state, iron is rare in the Earth's crust, limited mainly to deposition by meteorites. Iron ores, by contrast, are among the most abundant in the Earth's crust, although extracting usable metal from them requires kilns or furnaces capable of reaching or higher, about higher than that required to smelt copper. Humans started to master that process in Eurasia during the 2nd millennium BCE and the use of iron tools and weapons began to displace copper alloys, in some regions, only around 1200 BCE. That event is considered the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
