Yeavering Archive: Plan of the Excavated Theatre
This plan taken from Hope-Taylor's volume on Yeavering clearly shows the fire-reddened area where a fire was
deliberately started, probably in 633 AD. Hope-Taylor's interpretation was that brushwood had been placed against
the base of the structure and lit so that the wind would fan the flames.
