"In an important and enjoyable new guide, Adam outlines our changing understanding of Cumbrian prehistory..." "Through detailed maps, diagrams and photographs, riveting stories of the region as a cultural melting pot emerge" "A handy glossary helps you know your lynchet from your kerb stones, and helps you cast a critical eye over mound variety. Perfect for armchair or real life (time) travel." "Cumbrias Prehistoric Monuments would make a welcome addition to the bookshelves of prehistorians, historians, and archaeologists, as well as anyone planning a visit to Cumbria." "The highlight has to be the beautiful photographs and illustrations, which both help the reader get a sense of the sites and finish the book off beautifully."
