Park pale at Marwell is a medieval deer park boundary feature located approximately 250 metres north-west of Marwell Manor in Hampshire. The pale consists of a substantial earthwork that once formed the perimeter of an enclosed deer park, representing the physical infrastructure of medieval aristocratic land management and hunting practices.
