This volume reports on a program of archaeological mitigation works in England undertaken during the late 1990s in advance of and during the construction of the Southern Range Road running across the southwestern part of the Defence Training Estate Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, from Warminster in the west to Tilshead in the east. The study area enjoys a high level of archaeological preservation, with prehistoric monuments, Romano-British settlements, and multi-period field systems largely unaffected by modern agriculture. The report documents found objects, human remains, and environmental evidence and goes into detail about a substantial settlement at Battlesbury Bowl that was established in the eighth to seventh centuries BCE and continued in occupation into the Middle Iron Age. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
