The third volume of the Le Yaudet excavation reports deals with the
later history of the site from the fourth century AD to the present
day. The site was reoccupied at the end of the Roman period,
serving as a military enclave. It may well have received migrants
from Britain in the fifth and sixth centuries when the settlement
developed as an ecclesiastical centre, surrounded by fields.
Occupation continued into the early medieval period. There is some
suggestion of destruction during the Viking raids but thereafter
the village spread to cover much of the highest part of the
enclosure. By the sixteenth century the village had shrunk to its
present size. The volume contains a full discussion of all the
finds.
