Thrilled that @PaulWhitewick has covered this investigation and thanks for his fantastic work. Cerdic is such a mysterious figure in British history and this discovery could bring the story to life!

The Beak at Dumbarton Castle, which once housed a medieval fortress, surrounded by a rampart that held out for four months under siege by Vikings in 870 until their water well dried out. Archaeological investigations have found the rampart was destroyed by fire.
