Abstract: |
This geophysical survey identified the principal components of Salmonsbury Camp and the main body of the monument appeared as a multivallate defended enclosure. The work also contributed a wealth of information concerned with the internal detail and possible zonation of the monument and indicated that it lay within a rich, multi-period landscape, dated from the Neolithic to the present day. The previous interpretation of a series of segmented ditches as a Neolithic causewayed enclosure had been called into question and a wider geophysical survey showed that the ditches may not have formed a complete circuit. A possible cursus monument has been identified to the north of Salmonsbury Camp, and a sub-circular anomaly in the north-eastern corner of the defences was interpreted tentatively as a henge. Palaeochannel and alluvial deposits were also identified. [Au(adp)] |
