 | Volume I: From the Earliest Times to the coming of the Normans (ISBN 0-7083-1170-9)
The first comprehensive and scholarly history of prehistoric and early Cardiganshire. This volume, for which the editors have brought together a team of eminent scholars, is richly illustrated with maps, line-drawings and photographic plates. It begins with the geology and geography of the County, its flora and fauna, and traces the slow emergence of Man in prehistoric times. It reconstructs, from evidence much of which has only been recently discovered, the extent and nature of the Roman Occupation, and finally the slow emergence of the kingdom of Ceredigion, the nature of its economic and social organization and political structures. The coming of Christianity, the settlements of the Saints and their priceless heritage, are also fully explored. The Volume ends with the coming of the Normans.
