Archaeological work undertaken at Anstiebury Camp hillfort, as a consequence of a violent storm in 1987, led to the discovery of material of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age origin. The two earlier prehistoric periods were represented by pieces of worked flint, and possibly by one feature dated to the Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, while the later period was represented by stratified material occurring within a number of layers, pits, postholes and a ditch. The work suggests that settlement of this site was probably of longer duration and is more complex than has been previously suggested.
