Abstract
AbstractThis paper considers the striking juxtaposition of prehistoric and early medieval monuments observed at Yeavering and other sites. It suggests that rather than showing continuity of ritual significance, these phenomena evidence attempts by a social elite to legitimise their position through reference to the past. The argument is illustrated by discussion of the Northumbrian palaces in the Milfield Basin and the later reuse of the Boyne tombs.
