'This collection of papers gives a strong insight into the debates about how ‘borders’ might fluctuate and the conclusions which careful analysis may offer. For those primarily interested in Offa’s Dyke it is a taste of what the next few decades of archaeological, place name and historical study may bring.' – Alan Lane (2023): Archaeologia Cambrensis Vol. 172
