The site of King Athelstan's Palace is a scheduled ancient monument located immediately north of the church at Yeavering in Northumberland (the reference appears to relate to a Yorkshire entry, though Yeavering is in Northumberland). The site represents the remains of a royal Anglo-Saxon settlement of significant historical importance, associated with the tenth-century reign of King Athelstan. Archaeological investigation has revealed structural evidence of high-status occupation consistent with a royal residence, though the precise architectural character and extent of the palace complex remain subjects of scholarly study. The monument represents an important phase in the development of Anglo-Saxon royal administration and settlement patterns during the early medieval period.
