• An overview of Britain’s Latter medieval period – 1066 CE through 1550 CE – as reflected by the archaeological record
• Ten sections with 61 entries, each written by an expert in that specialty
• Examinations of everything from relict landscapes, surviving and ruined castles and monasteries, archaeological remains, human remains, and individual objects recovered from that time period
