Abstract
The article discusses archaeological excavations of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. It was the site of a monastery established in 635 by the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria and the base for the worship of Saint Cuthbert, an early bishop of Lindisfarne known for his piety and miracles.

A discussion of the island's history and archaeological finds is presented,
