Gehört zur ReiheShire Archaeology (23)
Villages have been abandoned throughout history, and in every part of the British Isles. Some of them are former towns; others were only ever small hamlets. Many still await discovery. This book explains how villages have become deserted - often the result of disease and shrinking populations - and describes how the archaeologist recovers and interprets the evidence and shows how everyone can become involved in discovering and recording sites. Some good examples of sites worth visitingare included. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

What you have here is a potted history of the deserted village, an account of their archeology and instructions on how to find them yourself. It’s particularly well illustrated, sometimes with ground plans and aerial photography of the same sites, though I might wish for the ground plans to have been better labelled.
What surprised me was the sheer number of them and the map dates from 1977 so there must be far more in the books now. There are quite a few near me so I think I’ll go and take a look when the weather improves. ( )
