Prehistoric and Roman settlement around the Brecon Beacons and western Black Mountains is relatively well documented although information for the eastern Black Mountains is less accessible. In this study, Frank Olding takes a pragmatic approach to the prehistory of the area, outlining the evidence for land use, settlement, the economy and ritual from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age. He includes many site plans and distribution maps and a gazetteer of sites based on information from SMR's and NMR's.
