Originally published in 1988, The Castles in England and Wales is a
comprehensive treatment of the archaeology of the castles in
England and Wales. The books looks at how following the Norman
Conquest, one of the most characteristic structures of the English
landscape, the castle, was used to control and survey the
population. In its simplest definition a castle is a fortified
habitation, however this book looks at the many uses of castles,
from their most primitive kind, intended only for periodic use, or
as magnificent decoration, such as Caernarvon and other Welsh
castles of Edward I. It is essential reading for all archaeologists
and historians alike.
