Park pale at Marwell is a post-medieval earthwork consisting of a substantial bank and ditch that formerly enclosed a deer park. The monument lies south-east of Cowleaze Copse in Hampshire and dates to the medieval or early post-medieval period, when such pale fences and their accompanying earthwork boundaries were constructed to contain deer for hunting and management purposes. The surviving bank and ditch represent the perimeter demarcation of what was once a functioning park landscape, a feature common amongst the estates of the gentry and nobility. The earthwork survives as a linear feature in the modern landscape, preserving evidence of the historic land use and estate management practices of its period.
