Deer Park Pale is a medieval deer park boundary located approximately 460 metres north-east of Lyneham House in Devon, England. The monument consists of an earthwork pale, a type of fence or barrier constructed to enclose deer within a managed parkland area, dating to the medieval period when such enclosed parks were important components of aristocratic estates. The pale represents the physical infrastructure of medieval land management and demonstrates the historical significance of the locality as part of a substantial landed property. Such monuments are valuable archaeological records of medieval landscape organisation and the exploitation of woodland and grassland resources by the nobility.
