Abstract:
An article by Henry T Weyman (in Trans Shropshire Archaeol Soc, 3(2), 1913, 263–82) gives a comprehensive account of the historical background to the map but is thought here to have prompted mistaken assumptions with regard to its orientation. Comparison with a map of 1662 is thought to provide more precise identification of the landscape features. It is concluded that an orientation of the plan where E lies at the top is the most likely.
