Extract

In April, 1938, I had a short holiday in Schleswig, chiefly in order to see and walk along the Danewerk. During my stay there, Professor Jankuhn took me to see the province of Angeln; and on a little hill above the small town of Süderbrarup we inspected the much disturbed remains of a circular stone-setting, perhaps once covered by an earthen burial-mound (barrow). The spot is marked B on the plan (FIG. 7), and is to be seen also on PLATE I. It was for centuries the meeting-place of the district, at which discussions were held, just as at our early Hundred Courts, to which it may have corresponded. Here, said Dr Jankuhn, the Angles of Angeln must surely have met to discuss their forthcoming expeditions to England. It is seldom possible to nail down decisive historical events to a particular spot; and this revelation seemed to me most dramatic and would, I said, make an admirable article for ANTIQUITY. But other events supervened, and this earlier invasion receded into the background. Now at last the article has come into being, not quite perhaps in the form originally planned, but none the less welcome. O.G.S.C.
