Abstract/Summary

‘Between June and September 2012, Terrain Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological observations and recording at Maumbury Rings during the renewal of the retaining wall along Weymouth Avenue and the erection of a new fence along Weymouth Avenue and Maumbury Road. The groundworks did not disturb any archaeologically significant deposits, only post-medieval and modern agricultural soils and landscaping deposits. The only feature observed was a ditch, probably of post-medieval or modern date.’
