Wilsford Henge

Wilsford Henge is a broad irregular circular ditch visible only as a cropmark on aerial photographs,[1] on a gently sloping spur of land about 500m south of the River Avon.

[1] An interior circle of possible post-hole pits has been confirmed by geophysical survey.

[2] Around 1 kilometre in a north by northwest direction lies Marden Henge, on the opposite bank of the river.

[3] The site was included in a three-year investigation of the Pewsey Vale, beginning in 2015, by the Department of Archaeology at the University of Reading.

[4] Among the discoveries in the 2015 excavations was an early Bronze Age crouched burial of an adolescent child which included sherds of beaker pottery and a collection of necklace beads.
