There are two examples of Minoan clay conduits, those with a shortened cone shape and a U-shape which have not been seen in any society since. Knossos Palace had a sophisticated plumbing network made of terracotta conduits which ran up to three meters under ground.

The Outcome of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Garden Design

The Outcome of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Garden Design Anglo-Saxons encountered great modifications to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But there was no time for home life, domesticated architecture, and decoration until the Normans had overcome the whole realm. Because of this, castles were cruder structures than monasteries: Monasteries were usually significant stone buildings located in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were built on windy crests where their citizens dedicated time and space to projects for offense and defense. The bare fortresses did not provide for the calm avocation of gardening. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most pristine model of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists in the present day. The keep is said to date from William the Conqueror's time. A big terrace meant for exercising and as a means to stop enemies from mining under the walls runs about the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an old yew hedge trimmed into the shape of crude battlements.
