本卷的调查介绍了在过去十年中在英国发生的最重要的考古项目之一的结果。它的目的是考察一个街区的景观，以马德尔农场（西伯克希尔）的罗马别墅为中心，使用野外行走和样本挖掘技术。那些对研究方法感兴趣的人，尤其是对实地调查感兴趣的人，对这些中期研究结果是很熟悉的，但对那些对罗马不列颠更感兴趣的人来说，可能就不那么熟悉了。因此，这一卷将受到欢迎，因为它首次提供了充分的证据。一般来说，报告编写得很好，对所使用的方法有清楚明确的说明和理由。该卷包含了一个重要的讨论史前发现，将不考虑在这里。陶器和在两个定居点（Maddle Farm Villa和Boghton Bushes的一个定居点）进行的挖掘。对这些进行了评价，并对挖掘的地下发现与地表的关系进行了调查。该地区的调查的影响，然后被认为是有关古代农业的做法和替代重建的结果的主题重建农业经济的Gatcombe和Bignor研究的猜测，提供了一个最近更生态为基础的研究巴顿法院农场。任何调查别墅或其他农村定居点的人都应该阅读;从任何方法到农村遗址，而不是定居点及其周围环境都可以

Its object was the examination of a block of landscape, centred on the Roman villa at Maddle Farm (West Berkshire), using techniques of field-walking and sample excavation. The interim results are well known to those with an interest in methodology, and in particular field survey, but are probably less familiar to many with a more particular interest in Roman Britain. This volume is thus to be welcomed as it makes the full evidence available for the first time. It is generally well produced and contains a clear and explicit description and justification of the methods used. The volume contains an important discussion of prehistoric finds which will not be considered here. pottery and the excavations which were undertaken on two settlement nodes (the Maddle Farm Villa and a settlement at Knighton Bushes).
