Publications
A monograph outlining the results of the project has been prepared, entitled Beyond the Burghal Hidage: Anglo-Saxon civil defence in the Viking Age. It is currently being reviewed by Brill.
The proceedings of the conference Landscapes of Defence in the Viking Age: Anglo-Saxon England and Comparative Perspectives is in press as a separate edited volume published by Brepols in the Studies in the Early Middle Ages 28.
The database of archaeological and place-name evidence from the four case-study areas will form an independent resource archived at the ADS as a ‘special collections’ database and be accessible via their HEIRPORT portal.
