Medieval History and Archaeology
General Editors
JOHN BLAIR HELENA HAMEROW
The volumes in this series bring together archaeological, historical, and visual
methods to offer new approaches to aspects of mediaeval society, economy,
and material culture. The series seeks to present and interpret archaeological
evidence in ways readily accessible to historians, while providing a historical
perspective and context for the material culture of the period.

Preface and Acknowledgements
The beginnings of this book lie in an undergraduate dissertation which investi-
gated the medieval church and large prehistoric henge at Avebury in Wiltshire.
This project, and a passion for early medieval archaeology, were nurtured at the
Institute of Archaeology, University College London, encouraged by my excel-
lent tutors especially James Graham Campbell. The main project, however,
began life as doctoral research, funded by the AHRC and completed at The
Queen’s College, Oxford in 2003. After several revisions, the final manuscript
was realized during research leave granted by my department at Durham
University in 2010. Throughout its creation, I have benefited from the inspiring
guidance of John Blair, who has provided advice on all forms of evidence for
the Anglo-Saxon world, and to whom I remain indebted, for his continuing
generosity with knowledge and good advice.
The resulting volume is, I hope, something a little different from the main stream
literature on Anglo-Saxon England. We know that early medieval communities
were intimately connected to the landscape that surrounded them through their
daily lives and activities. This book reveals that ancient prehistoric monuments
in those landscapes had as much meaning for early medieval communities as the
natural world. They were not just places to bury the dead, but legendary
locations and places of pre-Christian power and myth that continued to
hold meaning after the conversion. To stand in a certain ancient hill fort was
to stand where past heroes had fallen, where battles had been lost and won, at a
place intimate to tales of the beginnings of Anglo-Saxon Society. An ancient
barrow cemetery on the skyline could be claimed anew, and reworked into the
fabric of a new mythology of descent, ownership, and territory. Monuments,
therefore, rather than merely old features inspiring awe or fear, were used to
mark out a potent terrain invested with power and myth. Far from fading away
at the conversion, this meaningful landscape survived and was negotitated
afresh by late Anglo-Saxon populations who populated its hills and pools
with monstrous entities and beasts and used landscape to structure new rituals
of power.
It is my hope that this book achieves a deeper understanding of this numinous
landscape and reawakens the early medieval imagination in the modern eye.
There is material here of interest for archaeologists working on funerary
archaeology and landscapes, and working with concepts of power, monumen-
tality, and place, and elements of the book may have appeal to those working in
place-name studies, literary studies, and, of course, medieval history. Any book
has its limitations and this one is no exception. On reflection the question of
viii Preface and Acknowledgements
competing British traditions of reuse in the fifth and sixth centuries has received
less attention than it should. The geographic focus is also skewed to the Anglo-
Saxon kingdoms in the south, east, and north, and the west of England is not
explored here fully. Finally the emphasis on landscape and prehistoric monu-
ments could have been balanced with a deeper consideration of the use of
Roman ruins and more detailed investigation of the recycling and circulation
of prehistoric and Roman artefacts. I can only hope that what lies in these pages
acts as a stimulus and incentive to others to press on and explore these gaps
further.
The text has been seen by many on its journey and is much improved as a
consequence. I am grateful to my examiners Helena Hamerow and Martin
Carver; and to Richard Bradley, John Hines, Helen Geake, Sam Lucy, Howard
Williams, and Victoria Whitworth for early comments on my thesis. More
recently the revised script has benefited from input by Abby Antrobus, Gwen
Bergius, Derek Craig, Rosemary Cramp, Vicky Crewe, Tom Moore, and Sam
Turner. Specific chapters were read and commented on by Stuart Brookes,
John Baker, and Alex Sanmark (Chapter 3), Alaric Hall and Richard Jones
(Chapter 5), and Andrew Reynolds, Stuart Brookes, and John Blair (Chapter 6).
Alaric Hall and John Baker deserve especial thanks for their close scrutiny of my
use of Old English literary sources and Old English place-names in Chapter 5
and Appendix 4. Two anonymous reviewers also provided welcome advice
which has served to strengthen the volume, and the text has been much
improved by the hard work of Alejandra Gutierrez and the OUP team. I am
grateful to Brian Buchanan and Alex Turner for producing the original illustra-
tions in the volume and to John Blair, John Bleach, Bill Britnell, Stuart Brookes,
Vicky Crewe, Paul Everson, Richard Green, Dawn Hadley, Sam Lucy, Dominic
Powlesland, Andrew Reynolds, Daniel Smith, David Stocker, Paul Tubb,
Alisdair Whittle, Mark Whyman, Howard Williams, and the British Museum,
Cambridge University, Corpus for Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture, English
Heritage, Oxford Archaeology Unit, the Society for Medieval Archaeology
and the Victoria and Albert Museum for permission to reproduce illustrations.
The early research for this book was made possible by support from my
parents, epecially when my son was younger. Its completion has been made all
the more pleasurable by working with a fantastic group of colleagues at
Durham, in Archaeology and in the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern
Studies, not least my recent PhD students, Gwen Bergius, Lisa Brundle, Sira
Dooley Fairchild, Celia Orsini, and Tudor Skinner. Family, close friends, and
colleagues have all indirectly in one way or another contributed to the develop-
ment of this book, but my final thanks are to those who lived with its creation,
to Andrew, Alex, and Jacob.

Introduction
In AD 1006 a challenge was made to the English by the Danish raiding army at
Cwicchelmes hlæwe [Cwichelmeshlæwe] or the ‘Mound of Cwichelm’. This site
is known today as Scutchamer Knob, situated in East Hendred on the Oxford-
shire and Berkshire border (Gelling 4: 481–2). The raiding army camped and by
so doing confronted local legend, awaiting in vain the ‘boasted threats, because
it had often been said that if they sought out Cwichelm’s Barrow, they would
never get to the sea’ (ASC (E) 1006; Swanton 1996: 137, n. 20). They eventually
turned homeward, achieving a safe return to the Hampshire coast. Today
Cwichelmeshlæwe is recognized through fieldwork as a prominent prehistoric
tumulus, once over 60 metres in diameter and 7 metres in height (see Figure 1.1)
(Semple: forthcoming (a)). Despite its creation in prehistory, this monument
must have held a political significance for the late Anglo-Saxon communities
and powers of this region. It was named after a member of the West Saxon royal
family and is twice documented as the meeting place of the late Saxon shire
assembly (Gelling 1974: 481–2; see also Robertson 1939). In 1006, the monu-
ment was described in relation to emotive and popular folklore, linking the safe
defence of England to the security of the mound. Perhaps for this reason the
raiding army chose it as a place for a theatrical and political statement designed
to weaken English resolve.
Prehistoric monuments were important to early medieval populations. They
recognized them as ancient features, as human creations from a distant past.
They used them as landmarks, battle sites, and estate markers. They gave them
new Old English names. Before and even during the conversion to Christianity,
communities buried their dead in and around these relict features and placed
elite graves within them. After the conversion, several churches were built in
and on these monuments, great assemblies and meetings were held at them, and
felons executed and buried within their surrounds.
This book examines how the communities of Anglo-Saxon England perceived
and used prehistoric monuments across the period AD 400–1100. The early
