Abstract
The Vikings' relationship with Christianity in Northern England
David M Wilson
37 - 46
Archaeological evidence shows that the Viking settlers in N England respected Christian burial grounds, used them for the interment of their dead and were rapidly converted to Christianity. The more definitive evidence for this on the Isle of Man is reviewed first. In England the documentary sources show that ecclesiastical organisation was disrupted by the settlements but a more tolerant attitude to Christianity can be seen in the account of the wanderings of the St Cuthbert community. Both the grave finds and the sculpture of N England show the Vikings adopting Anglo-Saxon Christian practices while retaining pagan elements. Viking ornament is found in Yorkshire on the traditional insular stone cross within a generation of Healfdene's settlement, while seven of the sixteen possible single Viking burials now recognised are from churchyards. Burial in churchyards which continued in use in subsequent periods may account for the comparative rarity of Viking grave-goods in England. Norse religious legends, like those on the Gosforth cross, were probably used by the church in this successful conversion. RNB
Excavation of two moated sites: Milton, Hampshire and Ashwell, Hertfordshire

Milton SZ 238941; Ashwell TL 264394. The excavation of two moated sites in widely separated parts of the country showed that neither moat was dug until 14th cent. There is increasing evidence that many early manors were surrounded only by shallow drainage ditches. The worsening climate was probably an important reason for the construction of moats in the later medieval period. At neither Milton nor Ashwell were remains of the expected manor house found inside the moat, thus showing that moats could have other purposes than defining the manorial precinct. It is difficult, therefore, to classify moats without full excavation. At both sites pre-moat timber structures were sealed by upcast from the moat. These seemed to have been village houses rather than manorial structures, suggesting extensive changes in the village plan. At Ashwell one period only could be confirmed and one building planned. At Milton there were three superimposed periods of building, each constructed on a different alignment from the one before; one building was a sunken hut. Geological, petrological and smelting analyses are given. Pottery runs from 12th-18th cents at Ashwell, 11th-15th cents at Milton. Au(adp)
Excavations at Dover Castle Kent 1964-6

Demolition of 19th cent married quarters allowed excavation of the area S of the inner curtain. A free-standing shallow rectangular gate-tower had been levelled before the curtain was built; a contemporary tower is probably still buried under the road nearby. Another gatehouse was built partly across the site of the first to give access to the new barbican, which had a surrounding ditch some 30ft across; its sliding bridge went out of use c AD 1250 when flanking walls were extended eastward to another wall-tower converted into an outer gate. A garderobe pit between gatehouse and curtain contained coins, pottery and ?Liège glass of c 1600. The development of the site is correlated with cartographic and documentary evidence. Further S, deep pits containing 12th cent pottery may have been trial ventilation shafts to the underground works, and a terrace within the SW curtain produced 12th cent pottery and ironwork. The jugs and cooking pots from the site are paralleled elsewhere in Kent and S England. Pottery runs up to early 18th cent. DFR
