Lovely looking artefact, but layout and content very poor. The author gives acknowledgments to lots of archaeologists, and often refers, very briefly, to archaeological reports, but can’t hide the fact that he’s basically a new ager. The layout is pleasing to the eye, but hopeless to actually read: it’s not obvious which entry a drawing relates to; the writing on the rather useless maps is so small a magnifying glass is required on top of my spectacles; one full page illustration of an ogham stone is not referred to anywhere in the text; the ‘bibliography’ is actually a series of footnotes that, for an inexplicable reason are numbered completely randomly throughout the book.
There is no explanation as to what ‘Ancient Siluria’ is, but lots of the author’s speculations as near facts concerning the ancient monuments meaning.
