- Title
SILVERDALE IN LANCASHIRE: THE PLACE-NAME AND THE HOARD.
- Authors
HOUGH, CAROLE
- Abstract
The article discusses the September 2011 discovery of a hoard of Viking silver dating to around the year 905 in the village of Silverdale in Lancashire, England and how the place-name Silverdale may have been an indicator of the buried treasure. The author looks at Old English translations of Silverdale before she argues against theories that it was coincidence and that the name simply refers to the silver-grey rocks found there.
