Archaeologists find 'elite site' on land once owned by legendary king slain at famous battle

Archaeologists have uncovered an "elite" Anglo-Saxon site on land that once belonged to one of England's most legendary kings.

The discovery was made by University of York archaeologists near Skipsea, a village in East Yorkshire, on land that once belonged to Harold II, or Harold Godwinson.

Pictures show excavators carefully working around the ruins of a malthouse, a timber tower and a large hall.
