THE FIFTH AND SIXTH CENTURIES

1. P.J.Casey (ed.), The End of Roman Britain (Oxford, British Archaeological Reports British Series 71, 1979) still seems to contain the best discussions— see especially the essays by J.P.C. Kent, J.P.Gillam and M. Fulford.

38. The summary and references by M. Sparks and T.Tatton-Brown, 201–05 in Rady, above, note 16 are a good introduction to an important topic, which can then be pursued through G.
