Abstract:		 The archaeological landscape of Brean Down, a SSSI and SAM (No. 13811), was surveyed at a scale of 1:2500. Four areas, comprising two prehistoric field systems, an Iron Age hillfort and a Victorian fort, were also planned in detail at 1:1000. Some areas of the site were inaccessible due to dense vegetation, although aerial photographs were used to resolve some problems of detail. Brean Down contained a variety of extant archaeological remains within a relatively small area. These included Bronze Age burial cairns, prehistoric and later field systems and a Romano-British temple. Peat deposits and two fish traps had also been recorded in the inter-tidal zone. The Down was used for a number of activities during the Second World War, including defence and the development and testing of new weapons. It was concluded that the landscape was culturally rich and chronologically diverse. [Au(adp)]
