Grim's Ditch, Wansdyke, and the Ancient Highways of England: Linear Monuments and Political Control

Published first in 2007, Tim Malim’s review of Grim’s Ditch and Wansdyke provides a valuable synthesis and exploration of key issues of wider application regarding the relationship between linear earthworks, movement, territoriality and politics in the later prehistoric and early historic societies in Britain. The author provides a new introduction, while the article has been revised to the format of the Offa’s Dyke Journal by the editors.
