Peter Fowler visits sites and current excavations to find how new archaeological evidence is changing our understanding of the past.

It is now becoming clear that Southampton, Walling-ford, Northampton, Hereford and other important centres were planned and built as entirely new towns by the Anglo-Saxons between the end of the Roman occupation and the Norman Conquest.
