Book excerpt: The hillforts of five countries thoroughly mapped, described and explained This book provides the first comprehensive series of maps of the hillforts of Britain and Ireland, with accompanying commentaries and broader overviews which interpret the survival and detection of this evidence in its later prehistoric and early historic contexts. The authors expertly assess and analyse the available evidence for over 4,000 hillforts from Shetland to Cornwall to County Clare to a single standard and present their findings in both map and descriptive form. Linking to the online appendix where a wealth of detailed information is available to search, the book is an indispensable resource.
