Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Following an introductory discussion of the documentary and archaeological evidence relating to pagan Anglo-Saxon sanctuaries, the author considers the evidence of English place-names which might either directly or indirectly indicate the presence of a sanctuary. She discusses those referring to (possibly sacrificial) animals' heads or to one of the Teutonic deities, or which include words for sanctuaries such as hearg or wig/weoh. The reasons for irregularities in the distribution of this type of place-name evidence are also discussed. Finally, the article looks at the association of the documentary and place-name evidence for shrines with the late Anglo-Saxon administrative network of Hundreds, including the names and meeting-places of some Hundreds. | ||
