Waeringwic Village Settlement in Cimmerian Shade | World Anvil

Waeringwic Village

Overview


The name Waeringwic means "dwellings by the weir".

Human activity on the site dates back to the Neolithic era, when settlement may have begun. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 914 reports that the Anglo-Saxon Æthelflæd Lady of the Mercians, daughter of king Alfred the Great and sister of king Edward the Elder of Wessex, built a burh or fortified dwelling there, as one of ten built to defend the Mercia from the Danes.

Waeringwic was chosen as a site for one because of its proximity to the transport routes of the Fosse Way and the Avon.
