Heathens & the holy: Examining conjectural archaeological evidence of pagan or Christian practice at St.Baldred’s Cave Open Access

The acknowledgement of caves within the world of medieval archaeology is steadily gaining traction, especially due to the research of scholars such as Marion Dowd and Knut Bergsvik. This article aims to exemplify the importance of cave archaeology pertaining to the middle ages and their role as conduits for religion, ritual and conversion. It shows how certain topographies retain elements of sacrality but with changing faces, however, the connection between man and landscape is something that has been renegotiated but retained from late prehistory into the late middle ages. The case-study of the under researched St Baldred’s Cave is used to exemplify this.
