Abstract:
Draws a distinction between the public works of defence - the fortified burhs, the re-used hillforts etc - and the private works such as towers, palisades and donjon-like church towers. These appeared from the end of the 9th century as temporary defences were proved useless against Viking attack. On current theories Trelleborg was essentially a town, parallel with those of the Burghal Hidage, but failing to develop thereafter.
