Klappentext The third volume of the Le Yaudet excavation reports deals with the later history of the site from the fourth century AD to the present day. The site was reoccupied at the end of the Roman period, serving as a military enclave. It may well have received migrants from Britain in the fifth and sixth centuries when the settlement developed as an ecclesiastical centre, surrounded by fields. Occupation continued into the early medieval period. There is some suggestion of destruction during the Viking raids but thereafter the village spread to cover much of the highest part of the enclosure. By the sixteenth century the village had shrunk to its present size. The volume contains a full discussion of all the finds.
