    • Focusing on the early medieval period of Wessex, the book explores the emergence of roads and their significance during the Anglo-Saxon era, particularly amidst Viking invasions. Through ten detailed case studies, it combines historical and archaeological evidence with ancient place-names to reconstruct the intricate networks that facilitated movement for various societal roles, from peasants to royalty.
