Abstract

The turning out of swine in woodland and the feeding of the animals on mast is an established part of modern livestock husbandry (for example, Jamón ibérico of Spain and Portugal or the 'pannage pork' of the New Forest). Despite this, perhaps the most famous historic records of woodland pig pasture are derived from the documentary evidence of the medieval Weald of south-east England. Though this is undoubtedly the case, the practice has received few interdisciplinary studies that feature excavated archaeological evidence. What follows is an extended review of the medieval practice of pannage, both in the Weald and beyond.
