Reviews

‘This report marks a useful interim stage in our understanding of Stratton. Now the accumulated data can be used to devise a clear picture of the settlement’s development with plans of each period which select the most important features.’ – Christopher Dyer (2022): Medieval Settlement Research, Vol. 37 'Overall this is an invaluable report on a fascinating site, although it would have been useful to learn of the landscape as it was in the 19th century – including the Roman road that ran through the site and its two remnant moated manorial sites – as a background to the excavation plans.' – Stephen Rippon (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 66/2 '...the volume's many contributors have made a significant contribution to medieval archaeology.' – Stephen Mileson (2023): Current Archaeology 391
