Landscape encyclopaedia - Richard Muir

Walking through the British countryside often leaves you with
numerous questions and no means of finding the answers in one,
readily accessible place. This new encyclopedia by Richard Muir
contains almost 1,000 entries which provide explanations of
terms, features and concepts connected with the history and
archaeology of the landscape. Short definitions and descriptions
are joined by longer discussions of themes, concepts and
approaches such as the origins of the village green, the parish,
milestones, and the meaning of words Dalloch, souterrain and
watergate. A useful aid for those investigating the landscape and
a handy reference for those who seek a more informed landscape
experience.
