Early Artillery Fortifications in England and Wales

a preliminary survey and reappraisal

John R. Kenyon

The growth of the study of English artillery fortification, coupled with the various inadequacies of B.H. St J. O'Neil's Castles and Cannon, mean that a reappraisal of these defences is long overdue. The scattered evidence, both architectural and documentary, for pre-1539 works is brought together to form a background against which studies of individual sites may be made. The emphasis is on castles, town defences and blockhouses, but there is a seperate section relating to fortified manor-houses.
