Arthur's Britain: History and Archaeology A D 367-634 (Paperback, New ed)

This remarkable book assembles all that is known or can be deduced about the most shadowy period of British history since the Roman occupation and about its legendary hero.

Leslie Alcock is the archaeologist who directed the famous excavation at Cadbury Castle in Somerset, originally identified with Camelot by Leland. Drawing evidence from both written and archaeological sources, Professor Alcock sifts history from myth to construct a convincing picture of life between the fourth and seventh centuries, when Celtic Britain was abandoned by the legions to the Picts, Scots and Anglo-Saxons.
