The study investigates historic turf mazes in Wales using various historical sources to identify locations.
There is a long history of references to mazes cut into the turf in Wales but, due to their ephemeral nature, all but one, a formal garden maze from the 1600s, appear to have been lost. There are a number of clues, however, which suggest the sites of other historic turf mazes. Welsh journals, newspapers, place names and tithe maps all providing additional information on likely locations.
