| Archaeology Dictionary: hermitage |
A settlement housing a religious individual or group seeking solitude and isolation. It generally includes a small chapel or oratory, one or more cells, and a domestic range. Larger examples are arranged around a courtyard or cloister. A hermitage is a kind of monastery, although its inmates led a more isolated and austere life. Some hermitages would serve just a single hermit, while other were occupied by a community of hermits—what Charles Thomas has called an ‘eremitic monastery’.
