Reviews

'...the volume solidly demonstrates the amount of new work and thought which can be directed towards, or focused around, a major hillfort, and its landscape and one hopes similar initiatives may be targeted towards other famous prehistoric monuments which have languished for too long at the edges of modern research.' - Toby Driver (2021): Archaeologia Cambrensis
*Archaeologia Cambrensis 170*

‘The overriding message behind the publication is the very real threat that is posed to our heritage. It outlines the very important work of members of HOOOH and now Oswestry Heritage Gateway in mobilizing the public to defend our cultural assets.’ – Andy Valdez-Tullett (2022): The Prehistoric Society March 2022
