Abstract: |
<summary>Further fieldwalking was undertaken on a site proposed for the construction of a Visitor Centre for Stonehenge, to be located to the north of the cursus and to be approached from the south-west. Fieldwalking in an area immediately to the north of the line of the proposed access road confirmed what was already known about the ploughzone archaeology of the immediate area. For approximately 350 metres east of Fargo Plantation, more-or-less coinciding with a ploughed-down field system, there was dense and varied occupation debris, mostly of Middle to Late Bronze Age character but including some Neolithic and Early Bronze Age material. To the east, closer to the proposed Visitor Centre site, artefact density was lower, with prehistoric material confined to worked and burnt flint, the former of industrial rather than domestic character. Thin scatters of Romano-British and post-medieval pottery were also identified. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
