The Down Farm Landscape (where the author's family has farmed for
generations) is one of the most carefully studied areas in Western
Europe. Much of this work has been carried out by the author
himself - who in 1992 won the Pitt Rivers award for independent
archaeology. His work has involved five universities and one of the
major field units were recently featured in a BBC 2 'Meet the
Ancestors' programme. The farm is part of Cranborne Chase, just
south of Salisbury (where, coincidentally, the famous General Pitt
Rivers began his pioneering work in the 1880s). It not only
contains the Neolithic Dorset Cursus, numerous long barrows and
Hambledon Hill, but over the last 30 years henges, shafts,
plastered houses, land divisions, enclosures and cemeteries have
been identified and excavated. The farm has its own museum and for
the book the author provided a unique range of illustrations
(including full colour reconstructions).
