This book is intended to pull together our current knowledge of the
'lost' group of people called the Pecsaetna (literally, meaning the
'Peak Sitters') by synthesising more recent historical and
archaeological research towards a better understanding of their
activities, territory and identity. This group of people is
shrouded in the mists of the so-called 'Dark Ages' and are only
known to us by the chance survival of less than a handful of
documents. Since the mid-20th century, valuable work has been done
to identify former Anglo-Saxon estates in the Peak from the
analysis of charters and from the Domesday survey, together with
recent wider historical analysis. In addition, some have also
attempted reconstructions of geographical territories from the
Tribal Hidage, the document, which first mentions the Pecsaetna. To
this historical analysis can be added further archaeological
evidence which ranges from Anglo-Saxon barrow investigation in the
limestone Peak District, to studies into the geographical
distributions of free-standing stone monuments of the Anglo-Saxon
and Anglo-Scandinavian periods. It is this latter study that has
prompted the writer to attempt this study.
