Abstract:		 The author contends that, while the archaeological evidence for ritual activity in later prehistoric and Romano-British settlements is reasonably plentiful, there has been little discussion of such evidence from Anglo-Saxon settlements. The paper presents a preliminary survey of `special' deposits, primarily of humans and animals, within Anglo-Saxon settlements and considers what the composition, context and placement of such (presumably votive) deposits tells us about the nature of Anglo-Saxon ritual. This evidence is compared to that from Iron Age and Roman Britain, as well as continental northwest Europe. In particular, the relationship of special deposits to buildings, boundaries and entrances is considered.
