Devon Hillfort May Be Site of Battle of Cynuit, a Key Win Against the Vikings
An Iron Age hillfort in North Devon is a strong contender for the long-debated location of the Battle of Cynuit in 878, when a West Saxon army defeated a Viking army. Research contained within the new book Sons of Ragnar by Paul Harper presents evidence that Castle Hill in Beaford matches many of the unusually specific clues given by various medieval sources. In addition, a large mound located nearby has sparked interest in what may be the burial location of the Viking commander identified later as Ubbe. However, to date there has been no archaeological confirmation of either the location of the battlefield or the burial site.
Harper, who grew up in Devon, said:
“People have been searching for the battle site in Devon for centuries, but Castle Hill has the most compelling claims and could finally solve this age-old mystery.”
