Offa’s Dyke Journal: Volume 7 for 2025 - A Journal for Linear Monuments, Frontiers and Borderlands Research

Linear monuments of different scales and characters are but one among many interleaving strategies by which people past and present have subdivided and transformed their world. Built, used, discarded and reutilised over time, they tell us about both changing strategies of landscape organisation, control and experience in past times, as well as present perceptions and concerns with dividing the land. Shedding fresh insights on the evolving spatial and temporal diversity of linear monuments, frontiers and borderlands, and their significances in today’s world, the Offa’s Dyke Journal now comprises fifty-seven articles spread over seven volumes. In this way, the journal brings new research on some of our most extensive, monumental and yet enigmatic monuments to scholars and students as well as to the wider public attention and for public benefit.
