Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Landmarc Support Services to carry out a programme of geophysical and aerial surveys over two sites within the Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) near Larkhill and Tidworth, to the northwest and northeast of Amesbury, Wiltshire. The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works ahead of proposed community excavations at the Sites. The Sites surveyed comprised three areas located west of Larkhill, to the south of Fargo Road, covering the former horse hospital, and to the southwest of Tidworth, covering the former trench systems on the summit of Beacon Hill. The geophysical surveys were undertaken between 27th and 31st March 2014. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of some 11ha, and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological significance along with regions of increased magnetic response and a number of modern services. The aerial survey was conducted using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and was successful in producing datasets suitable for extracting topographic and archaeological information. Although the partial cover of mature trees prevented visibility of the trench system in places, the existing features at the site were effectively mapped using this technique.
