From the time the Romans first set foot on England's shore in 55
BC, the British Isles have faced a constant threat of foreign
invasion. As a result, the landscapes of England, Scotland, and
Ireland are dotted with ancient defensive fortifications as varied
as their makers. Iron Age Celtic "hillforts," Roman castra and
Hadrian's Wall, Anglo-Saxon dykes and Alfredian burhs, Norman
mottes and stone-keeps, Edwardian castles, Irish tower houses--they
all served to repel ancient intruders and many still stand as
tangible relics of a remarkable past. This study chronicles the
development of British fortifications from prehistoric times
through the end of Richard III's reign in 1485, providing the
history of each type of structure, relevant examples, and
information on weapons and siege warfare. More than 250
illustrations vividly detail each ediface's construction and
configuration.
