BEACONS IN THE LANDSCAPE: THE HILLFORTS OF ENGLAND AND WALES

by Ian Brown

Published by Windgather Press Ltd.. 1st. 2009

Very good condition. Were the hillforts of Britain's landscape something special by those who created them or is the 'hillfort' purely an archaeologists' 'construct'? How were they built, who lived in them and to what uses were they put? A valuable synthesis of the rich vein of research carried out in England and Wales on hillforts. Pictorial cardwraps. Colour photos, b/w illustrations. xi and 267 pages including index.

A lovely copy, marred only by creasing to tip of lower corners from page 181 to the rear cover.
