"Uncovering a Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery in Salisbury" - excavations at Netherhampton

In 2023, we excavated a site with a dozen round barrows of probable Beaker and Early Bronze Age date, ahead of a new residential development between the village of Netherhampton and the Harnham suburb of south Salisbury.
Unlike the well-preserved earthworks of Salisbury Plain and Cranborne Chase, nearly all of the barrows had been ploughed flat. The cemetery was made of various clusters of barrows, and was unusual in that it spread across the slope of the chalk downs and onto the valley floor of the River Nadder.
This talk covers the projects progress into the post-excavation analysis stage, and the preliminary results of these investigations.
