{"product_id":"the-place-name-evidence-for-a-ann-cole-9781407312095","title":"The Place-Name Evidence for a Routeway Network in Early Medieval England","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis study uses place-names to suggest the major routes in use in early medieval England. Many Roman roads existing by the fifth century are known. Some fourteenth century routes in existence can be deduced from the Gough map of c.1360, and seventeenth century routes from Ogilby's road atlas of 1675. Between the fifth and fourteenth centuries there is little information about routes except in scattered charter boundary references. Here it is suggested that this gap can be partially filled using place-name evidence. Certain names such as Stratton, Drayton and Compton occur consistently by Roman roads and a few other old routes but rarely elsewhere. A string of such names along a route suggests that it was in use. Hythe and Eaton indicate waterways in use. The needs of travellers, possible destinations and how such a naming system may have arisen is considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 140731209X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407312095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.97d","brand":"Ann Cole","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458076520703,"sku":"9781407312095","price":113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8049c95a-17b6-4afa-a7c6-e09890337ee3.jpg?v=1777402277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-place-name-evidence-for-a-ann-cole-9781407312095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
