What is the difference between a Bell Barrow and a Saucer Barrow? Which henge between Stonehenge and Avebury is bigger than both? How many thousand spectators fit into the Silchester amphitheatre? In this fascinating book, packed with rare illustrations and antique engravings, local historian Gerald Ponting takes us on a tour around the ancient kingdom of Wessex, revealing a tapestry of earthworks, some Neolithic, others Iron Age or Roman, many of which survive today.
