Elmet has a few 'Where was it?' questions.  Not least is 'Where was Elmet itself?'  The area known as Elmet seems to have various dimensions, and likely changed over the 200 years it existed. My personal 'grey' vision of it has it as afr north as Wetherby, as far west as Ilkley or Skipton, as far east as Selby and as far south as Doncaster.

Anyone with details of finds or info to clarify anywhere within (ot outside) that area could please add that info to our files. Thank you.

The next 'Where was it?' question is in regard to a major Christian site. The abbey on Iona branched back into the south at Lindisfarne and then to another site further south. This is quoted as being in Elmet but no further info is available. Several places have been mooted for this important site. One is to the south of Killingbeck in Leeds, but with no specific placing, another 'somewhere' near Doncaster and nothing else, and one in Aberford on the rise of the south bank of the River Cock to the east of the Roman bridge and west of the confluence with the Craw.  There certainly are foundations on the site but no dig has ever been allowed or executed.  Any new info would be etc etc etc.

A further 'Where was it?' is regarding the 7th century, turning-point, battle of Winwead (choose your own spelling, I know of at least five different ones.). This has been pictured at Whinwood east of Leeds and the area fits the description but now there is new talk that it may have been well south of Leeds. Can't find further information on this new proposed site. Anyone heard anything?
