Abstract/Summary
The Anglo-Saxon burh at Christchurch received a considerable amount of archaeological attention during the period 1970-1982, and has been one of the most extensively examined of the Dorset burhs. Most of this work has been on a small scale but this has still resulted in a much clearer appreciation of its origin and development. Some of this work is relevant to more general studies of the Anglo-Saxon burh especially those of promontory type. In discussing the burh here, the documentary and topographical evidence is considered first, followed by the archaeological evidence and a general discussion.
