British Barrows: A Matter of Life and Death

by Ann Woodward

[Del · Rating 4 out of 5]

A highly informative and authoritative overview of the subject matter, I expect that this is a book I shall refer back to many times as I continue my own research. As is always the case with such works, the book suffers a little for now being a slightly dated, and I would greatly welcome a revised edition in the future.
