This edited collection of papers studies the rural hinterland of the Roman forts and towns of North West England. The volume is in three sections. The first two deal with some theoretical approaches to settlement and the problems of site location and identification within the region. The final part contains four case studies looking at the two most-studied Iron Age and Romano-British enclosures in the region: Great Woolden Hall and Irby, and then the Castleshaw Valley, where research has revealed the tight economic control of the upland landscape of the southern pennies during the Roman period. Our book is photographed for you to see; it is in very good condition
