Inhaltsangabe

Some of the greatest medieval castles survive only as earthworks and in pictures and written accounts because they were made of timber. Robert Higham and Philip Barker, who excavated in detail the timber castle at Hen Domen in Wales, have assembled the first comprehensive survey of this neglected and little-known type of fortification. This new edition includes a new preface from Robert Higham, to mark twenty years since the book’s original publication.
