PMB. We could also look on Iona, and north of the Solway, and Lothian. I understood that there was likely to be tombs on the Wolds above Beverley, but I don't know where I got that idea from. It may just be romantic fantasy.

It was not the lack of known sites that surprised me, it was the suggestion that all Anglo-Saxon kings were buried in the south, as if this was some sort of acknowledged practice. It just doesn't make sense. Suth anglii prejudice, methinks
