On this page are various photos from the supposed site of the Battle of Hastings as it looks today.
Battle Abbey was built after Hastings, on the exact place where Harold is supposed to have been killed. Historians think that when the Abbey was built, the ground was levelled out.
This is why Senlac Hill today doesn't appear much of a hill!
