Product Description

Product Description
This volume examines some of the best ancient monuments in Britain - the iron age brochs of north & west Scotland. It sets the building of these fortifications into context & looks at some of the theories that have been proposed for their origins.'

5.0 out of 5 stars a small but accurate appraisal of the brochs of scotland, 5 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This is a small book that gives both gazeteer information and an accurate depiction of the historical positioning of brochs, their influence and their use. The development from duns, roundhouses and other similar structures is discussed and put into perspective. The lothian and SW scotland connection is also discussed.
This is the best book i have so far found on this subject, i would also recomend the shell guide to archaeology if you can find it.
