Abstract
ABSTRACT This study maps the carucate and acre records contained in the Suffolk folios of Little Domesday for the first time and re-examines the body of work supporting the assumptions that the carucate represents 120 fiscal acres and had approximately the same value as statute acres before proposing further statistical evidence in support of these assumptions. The article then focuses on the detailed geographic distributions of woodland, meadow, ploughteams and livestock recorded in Little Domesday, proposing that these distributions reflect the varying physical landscape across the county and examining how those natural resources and challenges have influenced the agricultural practices of the Anglo-Saxons across the different regions within the county at the time of the Norman Conquest.
