-This external area may include [[Hovel (dwelling)|hovels]], sheds, animal pens or other provisional structures used by labourers and seasonal inhabitants. Though offering minimal defence, these outlying constructions reflect the hamlet's need to accommodate a wider population and support its basic economy, even under limited protection. The bailey itself is usually defined by a wooden or stone palisade, with a shallow moat or ditch surrounding the enclosure, and a single gatehouse or watchpoint regulating access to the yard within.

 Such hamlets are always supported by a significant [[River|river]], with individual [[Farmland|farms]] and [[Communal Holding|communal holdings]] besides. While they share many characteristics of communal hamlets, a sizable number of persons acting as artisans and skilled labourers accounts for a class of persons that are distinctly non-agrarian, and therefore apart from the communal ideal.  Tradition and [[Religion|religion]] are highly respected and observed, but nonetheless the community's focus is recognisably divided between the stalwart farmer and the business of collecting produce for markets elsewhere. The power of those who go afield each day is diminished by the owner-operators whose presence within the hamlet's walls exercises a greater influence.

 '''Bailey hamlets''' are clusters of tightly-knit dwellings and buildings, enclosed within a defensive outerwork known as a [[Bailey|bailey]], which provides protection to the [[Hamlet|hamlet's]] central [[Yard|inner yard]]. The arrangement typically places the homes and structures of higher-status or more essential residents within the fortified perimeter, while lesser dwellings and service-related outbuildings are often situated beyond the palisade and defensive ditch.

		+	As bailey hamlets always exist on or near a significantly sized river, it's quite difficult to find a surrounding type-6 hex that doesn't have a road and a river within. Usually, the hamlet prefers the road to the river; but the river will serve if no road is present. The wide caramel line on the right-hand hex is a national border.
