Abstract
Druids' circles in Wales
C Stephen Briggs
5 - 13
Re-examines relationships between Welsh stone circles and structured cairns, noting palaeoenvironmental evidence where available. Antiquarian material is examined, Grimes's 1963 list updated, and critical evaluation made of the relative sizes of both monument types. The importance of Mynydd Preseli in prehistoric times has been overrated, since monuments there are sparse and unremarkable. Many circles probably had cairn mass originally.
Roman religious sites in the British landscape
Tom F C Blagg
15 - 25
The British sites are viewed within a framework of the compatibility of Roman and native religions and of the characteristics of Roman religious sites in Italy and Gaul. Apart from Colchester, temples held no dominant position in Romano-British cities. Rural temples were very numerous, and related to the new Roman landscape; they also differed from Iron Age and from Saxon religious sites.
The Christianisation of prehistoric and other pagan sites
Leslie V Grinsell
27 - 37
Considers the practice of putting crosses, or other Christian symbols or structures, on sites believed pagan, from the Near East to the British Isles. Barrows, standing stones, chambered tombs and the like were all subject to this process.
Shared churchyards, freemen church builders and the development of parishes in 11th century East Anglia
Peter Warner
39 - 52
Examines the Norfolk phenomenon of two or more churches sharing a single churchyard (36 recorded examples).
Holy wells and the cult of St Helen
Graham Jones
59 - 75
A programme of investigation, listing, and conservation of all holy and healing wells and related features is called for.
The environment of Battle Abbey estates (East Sussex) in medieval times: a re-evaluation using analysis of pollen and sediments
Brian Moffatt
77 - 93
Five centuries of land use by the Abbey are separated into two phases by an 'event' at c AD 1400, after which predominant grassland replaced a mainly wooded environment. RB ironworking has not registered in the pollen record, nor has Tudor/Stuart ironworking; other well documented events are similarly missing, and the AD 1400 'event' does not figure in the documents. What exactly is the significance of the pollen record? Consideration is given to assarting, reclamation of the Levels, woodland management, etc, and the England-wide context is discussed.
