Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This article puts forward a new context and chronology for the development of the two parts of Late Saxon burh at Oxford, using archaeological, topographical, and historical evidence. The paper argues that the original burh was created in c.878-9 AD and that the eastern extension - effectively a second burh - was added in the early 10th century. Both dates are earlier than those usually proposed. The results of recent excavations on the site of the Norman castle have made it possible not only to establish the original extent of the primary burh, but also to identify a phase of the re-defence in probably the early 11th century AD as a response to renewed Viking raiding. | |||||
