RCHME: Badbury Rings, Dorset (1998). The summit area of Badbury Rings was cleared of undergrowth in 1997 by the National Trust and the young conifer plantation was thinned out. The clearance offered the opportunity for the RCHME to complete the large scale survey of the hilltop which proved impractical in 1993 because of the vegetation cover.Contents : 1 plan
