Description: This guide to Prehistoric England gives, in succinct form, full information about most of the important ancient sites in England. The arrangement is under Counties and the relevant Ordnance Survey map reference and route details are added in each case.  In a long introduction, the author outlines what is known about the history of man during the millennium before the coming of the Romans. But it is the main body of this book, its detailed Gazetteer, which will be found the most valuable. With its help, the keen amateur archaeologist can quickly discover what particular part of the country is especially worth visiting; and having arrived at a site, he will be provided with the vital information as to date, use, excavation and discoveries that will help to interpret what he can see on the ground. Here too the Guide’s illustrations – air and ground photographs, pictures of digs in progress and of finds, plans and diagrams – will be particularly helpful. Where published information about a site adds greatly to what has been included in the Gazetteer, a full reference is to be found at the end of the Guide, a feature which will be of particular value to students.
