Abstract
This paper interprets a group of innovative illustrations from the eleventh century English manuscript, the Harley Psalter, in the context of textual, documentary, place-name and archaeological evidence for an uniquely late Anglo-Saxon conception of barrows, ancient monuments and deviant burial places as places of damnation and hellish torment.
