Wessex to AD 1000 offers a comprehensive survey of southern England’s ancient landscape. Covering Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Berkshire, it reveals how communities shaped and sustained regional cohesion over centuries.

The author places iconic sites—Avebury, Stonehenge and lesser-known monuments—within a broader cultural framework. Through archaeological evidence and vivid interpretation, he reconstructs settlement patterns, trade networks and social dynamics.

More than a history of monuments, this study treats the landscape itself as an artefact, tracing how human activity etched meaning into fields, pathways and ritual spaces. Ideal for enthusiasts of British antiquity, it brings Wessex’s past to life.
