Abstract: |
Vespasian's Camp is an Iron Age hillfort (centred SU 146 416) situated to the west of the River Avon at Amesbury, Wiltshire. It is the only major Iron Age monument within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS) and was, until 2015, the only major monument within the WHS not to have been surveyed to modern archaeological standards. A measured analytical earthwork survey, at a scale of 1:1000, was undertaken in the winter of 2015-16 by the Assessment Team (now Historic Places Investigation Team) of Historic England as part of the Southern Stonehenge WHS Project (HE Project 7238), a programme of work designed to address the imbalance in understanding of the WHS between the northern part (which has been well studied) and the southern part (which, for various historical reasons, has seen much less research). |
