Very good and informative map with a clear indexing of roman activities, roads, forts, villas hoard finds etc etc. Any way to sum up its great but I do wonder why Ordnance Survey don't publish as a plain modern map without the historic layers, it would in my opinion be very useful addition to their fantastic range of maps.
