Roman forts in Britain von David J. Breeze
Typical Shire 64 page format. They're very good within their small space, but really the broad subject of the forts in Britain does need something bigger.
The Antonine Wall does not get near the attention its more famous counterpart to the south does. There are reasons for this, its not as dramatic a barrier, there's less left of it and its history was much briefer than Hadrian's Wall.
