The end of mid-Anglian paganism and the ‘Tribal Hidage’
The middle years of the seventh century witnessed several important changes and events in the Anglo-Saxon scene: firstly, the gradual stages of the conversion to Christianity; secondly, the resultant, but by no means uniformly final, abandonment of pagan burial rites, whether by cremation or interment; thirdly, the deposition of the Sutton Hoo ship; and fourthly, the issue of what Dr. Hodgkin has described as that interesting and important puzzle…
VIII.— Visigoth or Vandal
For many years I have entertained considerable doubts in regard to the generally accepted chronology of some of the fine jewellery belonging to the early period of the great migrations in south-east Europe in the late fourth and early fifth centuries. This paper is an attempt to submit the evidence for reconsideration
An Anglian Cemetery at Glaston, Rutland
The sand-pit at Glaston, Rutland, from which came the example of a rare type of Celto-Saxon fibula recorded in the Antiquaries Journal , xxviii, 169 ff., has since yielded evidence of a small cemetery. By way of preface it may be noted that the settlement which the cemetery represents is situated at a point close to the junction of the Oolitic Northampton Sands with the Lias, an observation stressed by Reginald A. Smith in his article on Anglo-Sa…
III.— A Saxon Village at Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire Third Report
Shortly after the presentation of the Second Report to the Society, in March 1926, the gravel-workings from which the material for both this and the First Report had been obtained were abandoned, the site of House XX marking the southerly limit of the land leased for exploitation. On a tour, however, of the district south of the Thames between Drayton and Long Wittenham in 1930, I found that a wide drift had been cut leading southwards from the D…
Denmark and Early England
One of the most impressive features of Scandinavian archaeology in the fifth and sixth centuries of our era is the wealth of gold which the three countries enjoyed during that period, more particularly Denmark and southern Sweden. About its source there can be little doubt, for it can hardly be regarded as other than deriving from direct subsidies bestowed by successive Roman emperors as deterrents to the restless tribes lying immediately beyond …
III.— Excavations at Chun Castle in Penwith, Cornwall (Second Report)
The investigation of the interior of the castle in 1925 resulted in the discovery of a series of furnaces in front of the well, the exploration of a circular house east of the well, and partial excavation of an area near the wall on the east side of the castle. The accumulation of debris from the wall, however, prevented continuation of this last piece of work right up to the wall itself. In 1927, therefore, with the kind permission of Mr. N. Mat…
Chastleton Camp, Oxfordshire, a hill-fort of the Early Iron Age
Chastleton Camp, or Chastleton Barrow (pl. LIV, 1 and 2), as it is sometimes called, is situated at the south-east end of the parish, which projects like some huge spur from the north-west edge of the county and from the line of the road which on either side of the base of the spur for a short distance divides Oxfordshire from Gloucestershire on the one hand and from Warwickshire on the other. This road is an age-long trackway running diagonally …
An Iron-Age Site near Radley, Berks
In 1928 by courteous permission of Mr. Badcock, the owner, the Oxford University Archaeological Society, under the supervision of Mr. R. T. Lattey, was able to examine a site in a field bounded on the west by the road leading from Radley village to Abingdon and on the south by a second road leading eastwards towards Radley station. There, on the wall of a disused gravelpit, holes filled with earth had produced evidence of human occupation. Explor…
I.— A Bronze Cauldron front the River Cherwell, Oxfordshire, with notes on cauldrons and other bronze vessels of allied types
The bronze cauldron here illustrated (pl. 1) has recently been added to the British prehistoric collections in the Ashmolean Museum. It was acquired from the person into whose hands it passed almost immediately after discovery, but of the conditions of discovery it has been impossible to ascertain more than that it was found by some bathers in the bed of the River Cherwell at Shipton-on-Cherwell. Chance was indeed kind when it allowed a vessel of…

A Neolithic Site at Abingdon, Berks. (Second Report)
At the close of the description of the site itself in the first report i t was stated that the rise in the level of the trench east of the pit containing Hearth 4 suggested the presence of a causeway beyond. It is now more than doubtful whether the evidence is capable of such interpretation. Just beyond the top of the slope where all signs of the usual cultural layer had disappeared, a fine specimen of a comb and some sherds were found, but after…
IX— Excavations at Chun Castle, in Penwith, Cornwall
Chun, Ch'un, Chyoon, or Chywoon, as it is variously spelt, is the most remarkable of all the Cornish hill-castles. It is tempting to derive the name from the castle itself (Chy-oon, house on the moor), and, if that is legitimate, in Borlase's day, when the inner walls still stood 15 ft. high and more, the name was very apt. The ‘oon’ portion of the name is still present in the adjacent Woon Gumpus Common. Like Trencrom in Lelant, however, the cas…
III.— A Saxon Village at Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire (Second Report)
Since the publication of the first report, which included all the work carried out on the site of the Saxon village at Sutton Courtenay down to the end of 1922, further excavation has resulted in the discovery of eight more houses in the same area as those previously described, and two others a little distance away. In addition, three Bronze Age circular ditches have been observed and partly explored, as well as one or two more pits of the same p…
A Neolithic Site at Abingdon, Berks
At the end of April of last year the Rev. Charles Overy drew my attention to the presence of broken animal bones, flints, and sherds of pottery in a gravel-pit on the south side of the road from Abingdon to Radley, about a mile out of Abingdon (fig. 1). The pit lies on the very boundary of the parish of Abingdon in a field at about 200 ft. O.D., just over half a mile north of the Thames and some 30 ft. above the river. On its eastern and southern…
An Anglo-Saxon Cremation-burial of the Seventh Century in Asthall Barrow, Oxfordshire
Four and a half miles west of Witney on the south side of the high road from that town to Burford, and immediately opposite the point at which the by-road to the villages of Asthall and Swinbrook descends steeply into the valley of the Windrush from the high ridge along which the main road passes, stands Asthall Barrow (fig. 1), one of the most prominent landmarks in the whole county. It commands an unrivalled view of the Thames valley from Lechl…
IX.— An Archaeological Survey of Oxfordshire
In 1896 the late Mr. Percy Manning, M.A., F.S.A., compiled an archaeological survey of Oxfordshire on the same lines as those already published by the Societyof Antiquaries of London, but for some reason did not have it printed immediately with the result that the manuscript soon ceased to be up to date. Nevertheless from the year 1896 right down to the beginning of the war he was assiduous in collecting every available piece of information about…
VIII.— The Dolmens and Megalithic Tombs of Spain and Portugal
The work done by archaeologists in Spain, particularly within the last decade, in recording and exploring megalithic graves in that country has begun a new era in the study of the megalithic problem in Western Europe, since it is now at last possible to collate this new material with the evidence accumulated over a longer period in Portugal and thus to rewrite in a measure the history of the megalithic period in the peninsula.1 It is self-evident…
The Archaeology of the Anglo-Saxon Settlements
VIII.— The Distribution of the Anglo-Saxon Saucer Brooch in relation to the Battle of Bedford , A. D. 571
The investigation of the early history of England is beset with many difficulties and has furnished material for the widest conjectures. Prior to the Roman invasion our knowledge is confined almost entirely to such deductions as can be made by the aid of archaeology. But the difficulties by no means decrease with the period when England makes its first appearance in the pages of written history. Indeed, they might be said rather to increase, and …
XXI.—Notes on an Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Market Overton, Rutland
Market Overton is situated about a mile from the northern border of Rutland and a little under two miles south-west from the point where the three counties of Leicester, Lincoln, and Rutland meet. Here, in August 1906, ironstone workings were begun on a fairly large scale, and these operations have continued to the present time and are likely to go on for a considerable period. In the course of the excavations a large number of antiquities have b…
