A CROSS MARKS THE SPOT
I enjoyed reading Julian Humphrys’ article about the Battle of Brunanburh (Battlefield, September 2017. After a good summary of the debate over the battlefield’s elusive location, he concludes that “unless… there’s a stunning archaeological find, the debate will rumble on”.
You may be interested to hear that there probably does exist a stunning archaeological artefact relating to this battle, namely the Nunburnholme Cross in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
