The post-Norman development of Fulford

Location of the

Anglo-Saxon

settlement of Gate Fulford

The landscape suggests that the earlier settlement of Gate Fulford was abandoned after the Norman Conquest. The pattern that emerges from the 1651 map reveals a classic post-Norman settlement.

There is some conjecture that the Roman route south ran along the line at the rear, to the south-west of the new village.

If this interpretation is correct, there were no buildings to impede the warriors during the battle.
