text:
At the Battle of Beran Byrig or Beranburh the West Saxons are said to have defeated the Britons at Barbury Castle hillfort near Swindon in 556 AD. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for the year states: Her Cynric 7 Ceawlin fuhton wiþ Brettas æt Beranbyrg. Control of Barbury Castle is likely to have been important as it lies on The Ridgeway, a strategic communication route.
