Salisbury Museum organises guided walk of Down Farm Thursday 19th July 2012

Walk & Visit – Down Farm Museum - Thursday 19 July 2012. Martin Green will lead a walk to explore the rich archaeological landscape centred around Down Farm. In the morning we will visit the museum to set the scene for the sites to be visited later. After this we will explore sites in nearby Fir Tree field which include the natural shaft and burial monuments excavated and subsequently restored by Martin. Following lunch a longer circular walk will cross the Dorset Cursus and take in the earthworks on Gussage Cow Down before traversing a length of the Ackling Dyke. We will then leave the Roman road to cross the Cursus again visiting the restored Neolithic hengers and barrows on Wyke Down before crossing the Allen valley back to Down Farm.
