Reviews

What is clearly needed, in this new situation, is a fresh survey volume, written and presented in a manner accessible to any interested reader, provided with the full panoply of plans and photographs that marks most good archaeological publication, and devoted to the problem of the purpose of hillforts. Ian Brown s book is precisely this work.'--Ronald Hutton Time and Mind, vol 3, No. 2 (01/01/0001)
