A thorough and well informed read on all of Kernow's ancient sites. Particularly enjoyable was the mentions of the history and language.

This is a fine book--clear, well written, and helpful, whether you only want to read about ancient Cornwall or are hell-bent to visit the sites yourself.

[Ivan Monckton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent lengthy introduction to prehistoric sites with a substantial gazetteer that, unfortunately, is almost impossible to navigate being an alphabetical list for various notional areas of Cornwall...
