Park pale at Marwell is a medieval deer park boundary consisting of a linear earthwork in Hampshire, south of Fisher's Pond. The pale, which survives as a raised bank with an associated ditch, represents the physical demarcation of an enclosed hunting ground dating to the medieval period. Such features were characteristic of aristocratic estate management in the later medieval centuries, when deer parks formed integral components of noble landholdings. The earthwork provides archaeological evidence for the organisation and use of the Hampshire landscape during this period.
