This open-access academic venture has established itself as a distinctive venue fostering new research and public understanding regarding the complex global story of walls, barriers and frontier zones from prehistoric and ancient societies to the medieval and modern world. In doing so, the Offa’s Dyke Journal does not only present reliable peer-reviewed academic research in an accessible venue, it also critiques and combats both misinformation and disinformation shared about this aspect of the human past in popular culture and political discourse in today’s world. Promoting an informed and nuanced conversation about their stories and legacies and the positive dimensions of linear monuments is thus a key aspiration of the Offa’s Dyke Journal as both an academic and open-access resource. In doing so, we can learn about the human past, recognise how these material traces inform contemporary identities and society, and both recognise their legacies as well as celebrate their redundancies.

‘This volume of eleven articles and three notes adds significantly to the corpus of knowledge about international examples of linear monuments and their interpretation, based on historic and recent excavations, and on our understanding of the period in which they may have been constructed. … This discussion is delivered by a diverse authorship and provides a very different perspective on how monuments and borderlands can be perceived by modern societies, irrespective of their historical integrity.’ – Tim Malim (2024): Archaeologia Cambrensis 173
