Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 78 hectare site, south-west of Salisbury, Wiltshire, as part of a baseline assessment of the heritage potential of the site. This information will help guide archaeological strategy in advance of the proposed development of the site. The survey has identified four areas of archaeological potential. A substantial sub-oval enclosure, of likely prehistoric origin, containing dozens of pit-type anomalies is located in the west of the site. A sinuous trackway meanders through the enclosure from north-west to south-east. The enclosure, including two smaller enclosures appended to the eastern side, are assessed as of very high archaeological potential. To the east of the enclosure twelve ring-ditches, probable barrows, are identified in three distinct clusters, most with possible internal features which may be pits, cremations or inhumations. These areas are assessed as of high archaeological potential. Across the central part of the site a regular pattern of linear anomalies may locate an undated field system which is assessed as of moderate archaeological potential. Anomalies locating a former quarry and a barn may be of local historical interest. |
