Description
The Saxon Shore Forts were a late Roman phenomenon built in the 3rd century AD, stretching from Brancaster to Portchester. Based on the author's thesis, this is a detailed study of the construction of eleven forts including an analysis of the provenance and nature of building materials and a discussion of the building process and resources involved. From conception and design, the extraction and transportation of materials, to the actual construction programme' itself, this is a well-written and well-structured study.
