Salopia Antiqua

Written as an antiquarian survey, this book examines the ancient past of Shropshire and the borderlands of north Wales. Its pages record prehistoric monuments associated with the Druids alongside earthworks and fortifications from the age of conflict. A glossary of regional dialect words and place-name terms is included, helping readers decode the local vocabulary found throughout the text. Because it reflects nineteenth-century antiquarian scholarship, it is best suited to readers interested in regional archaeology and the early history of the Welsh Marches.
