"Dolaucothi, near the modern village of Pumsaint in south-west Wales, is the only site in Britain where the Romans are known certainly to have mined for gold. The main workings, which are thought to span various phases of exploitation from the pre-Roman through to the present, can be traced over a distance of more than a kilometre, while the associated settlement areas and leat systems widen the area of interest even further. This volume reports on a series of investigations, carried out at this important complex over a period of 12 years."--BOOK JACKET.
