The result is a major work of synthesis - not just of local interest, for the authors constantly weave local examples of, say, causewayed enclosures into the national picture, contributing to such wider debates as whether, for example, earlier monuments tend to attract later monuments, resulting in monument clusters, or whether causewayed enclosures were built in frontier territory on newly cleared land, or whether they are associated with the sites of earlier ritual activity.' -- SALON - The Society of Antiquaries Online Newslett SALON - The Society of Antiquaries Online Newslett
