- Abstract :
- From obscure beginnings before the Bronze Age, the farm at Kebister flourished into a cluster of houses in the Iron Age which remained in use for hundreds of years. In Viking and medieval times, a small chapel and at least two graves existed on this already very old site, and the hillside continued to be farmed intensively. In the 16th c. an archdeacon built a teind (tithe), barn at Kebister, with an unusual armorial panel. The post-medieval township was not finally abandoned until ca.1820. Archaeology, scientific analysis and the study of local documents are used as evidence for the history of the site. ;
