A talk by Dr Helen Wickstead, Kingston University and Martyn Barber, Aerial Survey, English Heritage at Salisbury Museum, 8th November 2011.
This talk reports on the latest findings from Damerham Archaeology Project, which has been investigating a remarkable complex of previously unknown prehistoric monuments on the eastern edge of Cranborne Chase. Aerial and geophysical survey – followed by exploratory excavations – has revealed more than 40 individual monuments. These include two early Neolithic long barrows, more than 30 Bronze Age round barrows, a system of linear ditches and an enclosure of probable Iron Age date.
