Monastic settlements are areas built up in and around the development of monasteries with the spread of Christianity.
These settlements are of historic interest as the development of a monastery typically spurred other settlement developments over many hundred of years which may be rich in historical artefacts enabling understanding of social orders and the spread of culture and technologies.
