Abstract: |
Record of a conference held in Liverpool, March 1976. M Faull (1-55) catalogues and analyses late- and post-Roman burials and also place-names, deducing a considerable survival of both high and low rank Britons in the Northumbrian kingdom. L Laing (57-60) considers the evidence for continuing (?administrative) use of certain Roman forts in Wales. L A S Butler (61-6) examines continuity of settlement in Welsh Christian and lordship sites, seeing the final rupture of the Celtic world only at the Edwardian conquest, and pride in pedigree surviving even that. A Morrison (67-76) examines the possibility of using pre-Improvement surveys to identify some remnants of Celtic settlements in Scotland, but the problems are severe and the task must be tackled from the Dark Age end as well. P S Gelling (77-82) examines the fate of the Celts on the Isle of Man during the Viking period: only a few personal names survived and Norse settlement and speech became firmly dominant until the reintroduction (?from Scotland) of Gaelic. Bruce Proudfoot (83-106) considers the problems of studying the survival of native Irish forms of settlement and economy after AD 1169. Aidan Macdonald (107-11) plots and discusses Old Norse 'Papar' names in N and W Scotland. C A R Radford (113-23) shows that whereas Anglo-Saxon art remained close to Continental sources of inspiration, insular Irish kept a tenacious hold on old traditions even while adopting some alien traits; so that when Romanesque came to Ireland it was via England. |
