KING'S HILL IS TRADITIONALLY SUPPOSED TO BE AN ANGLO-SAXON BARROW ASSOCIATED VARIOUSLY WITH OSWALD OF NORTHUMBRIA, OR AETHELRED OF MERCIA. EXCAVATED IN 1912 BY CHARLES LAING, THE ONLY FINDS WERE FOUR UNASSOCIATED SKULL FRAGMENTS, AND THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS STRATIFICATION. ANDREW WHITE SUGGESTS THAT KING'S HILL IS A MEDIEVAL PILLOW MOUND - THE FIELD NAME 'CONEYGARTH' APPEARS IN A POST-DISSOLUTION SURVEY, WHEREAS THE EARLIEST SOURCE FOR THE 'KING'S HILL' TRADITION APPEARS IN MARRATT'S 1816 'HISTORY OF LINCOLNSHIRE'. {1}{2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
