Archaeologists have unearthed walls about 1m (3ft) thick at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall

Image captionArchaeologists have discovered what are believed to be the walls of a 6th Century royal residence

The royal residence of 6th Century rulers is believed to have been discovered at the legendary birthplace of King Arthur.

Archaeologists have unearthed walls about 1m (3ft) thick at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall in the first excavation of a five-year English Heritage project.

It is thought the walls formed part of the seat of the rulers of the early medieval kingdom of Dumnonia.

Winn Scutt from English Heritage said it was a "very dense settlement".

"It's a complex of buildings and many people since the 1980s have argued that it's a royal centre, and that it's the royal centre of the kingdom of Dumnonia", the properties curator said.

"We haven't found any others, so it's quite possible that this was the centre, and maybe they were static."

Some of the buildings had been excavated in the 1930s by the British archaeologist Ralegh Radford who had thought they formed part of a monastery, Mr Scutt said.

He added the excavations did not tell us "anything" about King Arthur, the legendary ruler who was conceived at Tintagel Castle according to the 12th Century writer Geoffrey of Monmouth.

Discoveries at the site also include large amounts of pottery from the eastern Mediterranean used for olive oil and wine, as well as Merovingian glass and fine Phocaean tableware from the west coast of Turkey.

Mr Scutt said the richness of the discoveries made Tintagel "one of the most important sites in western Europe".

"It isn't just a trading centre to move olive oil around, they're actually indulging in it, they're feasting here", he said.

English Heritage has appointed Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) to carry out the excavations which form the first major research project of the area since the 1990s.

sending slaves to the Vikings in Dublin

sending slaves to the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland

Exactly when the city was founded is unknown. The earliest relic is a silver coin in the Royal Collection at Stockholm, Sweden. The coin bears the image of Ethelred Unrede (978 – 1016) and was minted in Bricgstowe (Bristol) by a man named Aelfweld. If Bristol was important enough to have a mint by 978 it must have been in existance sometime before then.
It is fairly certain that no town existed here before 577 AD. The reason being that in 577 two Saxon kings (Cuthwine and Ceawlin) fought and killed three British kings (Commail, Condidan and Farinmail) at a village called Dyrham near Pucklechurch, just outside of the present city. Although the towns of Bath, Gloucester and Cirencester are mentioned in the account of this battle, Bristol isn’t mentioned at all, even though it would have been closer than those mentioned.
Thus, Bristol was founded sometime between 577 and 978 AD. Even by this latter date the town was known to be dealing sending slaves to the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland.
Bridges at this time were of vital importance. There are three reasons why Bristol, as a port, is situated 7 miles inland with access to ships up a very tortuous river. A bridge across the Avon nearer it’s mouth would have been technologically very difficult, the land there was very prone to flooding and the town would have been very exposed to attack. Ships would make their way up the Avon until they reached Bristol Bridge and lay beached at low tide on the mud ready to be unloaded.

Zoo wardens could use the recorded call of an escaped lynx's mother in a bid to capture it.

The wild cat, named Flaviu, was reported missing from Dartmoor Zoo on Thursday.
Staff believe the animal is on farmland around the zoo, near Plymouth.
Bedding from the creature's former home at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent will also be used as the round-the-clock search continues.

Dartmoor Zoo owner Ben Mee said he was hoping to get the recording of Flaviu's mother Klementyna, who remains at Port Lympne.
He said: "Flaviu is a bit of a mummy's boy, so we think he is really missing his mum.
"That is why he could have escaped last week, because he was trying to get back to her."
Flaviu arrived in Dartmoor on Wednesday.

Park staff have set a number of humane traps after a sighting on farm land outside the boundary of the park in Sparkwell.
Mr Mee said he was sure Flaviu was still in the area.
He added: "We have definite signs - we would have expected to catch a badger or a fox by now, but something is scaring them off.
"Livestock in the area is herding around its young protectively and our wolves are prowling in that direction."
He said Flaviu would not be starving as he had been used to catching wild animals at his former home.
He also asked people to stay away or the operation could be compromised.
Police have also said Flaviu, which is the size of a large domesticated cat, could be dangerous if cornered.

missing lynx.

A dog walker who came across a dead sheep near Dartmoor Zoo believes it may be connected to the missing lynx.
The resident of Lutton, who did not want to be named, said he was walking his dog this morning and accidentally strayed into a segregated area where Flaviu the lynx is believed to be living.
"I came across a sheep which had been killed," he said.
"It had an open wound on the top of its neck.

"It might have died of natural causes then something has tried to eat it, I'm not sure because I'm not a qualified vet.
"It seems a bit of a coincidence that this sheep has died in the segregated area while the lynx is still missing."

DUNSTER

there, though the historian quaintly adds that the plague was at the same time “ hot round Dunster.” Behind what is still called the Prince’s bedchamber is a secret chamber or hiding-place of small dimensions. Later, the Castle was besieged by Colonel Blake, the Parliamentarian Governor of Taunton, who, after a close siege of 160 days, forced Colonel Francis Wyndham to surrender, but with the honours of war. In 1648 the Castle was the prison of William Prynne, who had been sent there by Oliver Cromwell. During his imprisonment he employed his time in examining and scheduling the many documents connected with the history of the Castle. Perhaps the most interesting of these is a small slip of parchment bearing the original receipt of the Lady Joan de Mohun to the Lady Elizabeth Luttrell for 500 marks, the purchase money paid by the latter lady in 1376 for the right of succession to the Great Barony of Dunster.The Tor on which the Castle stands was the site of the Norman Keep, but all traces have disappeared, the Keep having been destroyed, by order of Parliament, in 1650. The Tor is covered with fine trees and every variety of flowering shrub, among which, growing in the open air on a wall in front of the Castle, is a lemon tree of remarkable luxuriance and beauty, bearing fine fruit. On it may be noticed the unusual sight of bud, blossom and fruit at the same time.

The view from the neighbourhood of the Castle is varied and imposing, including the extensive Deer Park, several miles in circumference, and, nearer, the verdant lawns, 300 acres in extent.On the heights of the Deer Park, on Gallox Hill, are two ancient camps. The prominences silhouetted against the sky mark the site of a roughly rectangular earthwork, known as Bat’s Castle, and often called the “ Roman camp.” It is enclosed by a double vallum of stones and a fosse, except on the southern side, where the steep declivity renders such protection unnecessary. Not far away, to the north-west, on the same hill, is a well-marked circular camp.The High Street.Dunster High Street, once called “ Chepyng-strete, ” is a broad and dignified thoroughfare, flanked by many charming Tudor houses with carved oak doorways and heavy window-frames, and quaint little old-fashioned shops. High above the Castle mounts guard over the lower end, and at the otherMinehead (c)
