Description

Wansdyke stretches 35 miles across Somerset and Wiltshire, its linear earthworks forming a formidable barrier. This comprehensive study brings the magnificent monument into focus, examining the controversies surrounding its boundaries and delving into the archaeological context that sheds light on its origins. Packed with maps and photographs, the book chronicles the quest to understand Wansdyke, from the efforts of antiquaries and archaeologists to decipher its secrets. By placing it within a wider historical and archaeological framework, the author aims to stimulate interest in this lesser-known earthwork and encourage others to explore its mysteries. A detailed examination of Wansdyke's significance, this book is an engaging exploration of a fascinating piece of England's history and heritage.
