Date/Year 2009

Abstract/Summary

‘Earthwork enclosures with a seemingly unnecessary number of causeways across their ditches have long been attributed to Britain’s earliest farming era, dating back to 4000BC. Yet their purpose remains obscure. Roger Mercer directed a classic excavation at one such site in Dorset over 20 years ago, now newly published. Here he describes the insights established by what he found.’
