Special attention is paid to the well-preserved field walls, possibly the finest examples in England. This is an account not just of Roystone, but also an introduction to the rich archaeology of the National Park in which it is situated: it also serves as a guide to the successful archaeological trail created in 1984 around this constellation of sites. Illustrated with maps, plans and photographs, this book enables the student and the general visitor to make sense of this quintessential example of English landscape archaeology.
