The Fenland region has been the focus of considerable study and debate over the last 50 years but there has been no general book on the Roman occupation and development of the Fens since 1970. This book examines Stonea as a central place in the fens - first the Icenian stronghold of Stonea Camp, then the Roman town adjacent to it and the subsequent development of Stonea Island. The Roman infrastructure and economy are described, including the growth of Durobrivae and Godmanchester, the appearance of market towns and large settlements, and the importance of dairy production, sheep husbandry and salt-working. The book is illustrated with over 100 maps, photographs, reconstruction drawings, site drawings and artefacts.

Old Oswestry is considered to be one of England's most precious archaeological jewels, described by Sir Cyril Fox in the 1930s as 'the outstanding work of the Early Iron Age type on the Marches of Wales', and its design is unique amongst hillforts in the UK. Located on the edge of the Shropshire Plain and just a kilometre north of the market town of Oswestry, the hillfort (and its hinterland landscape) can trace activity through artefactual evidence back at least 5000 years, with the last 3000 years evident as earthworks. The reader will notice that little in the way of archaeological investigation has occurred within the hillfort, and indeed, more excavation took place when its internal space became a training ground for trench warfare during World War I than through any academic endeavour.Old Oswestry Hillfort and its Landscape: Ancient Past, Uncertain Future, organised into 14 well-crafted chapters, charts the archaeology, folklore, heritage and landscape development of one of England's most enigmatic monuments, from the Iron Age, through its inclusion as part of an early medieval boundary between England and Wales, to its role during World War I when, between 1915 and 1918, over 4000 troops (including Oswestry's own great war poet Wilfrid Owen), were being trained at any one time for the Western Front.This book also discusses in detail the recent threats to the monument's special landscape from insensitive development and its alternative potential to act as a heritage gateway for the recreational and economic benefit of Oswestry and surrounding communities.
