The Vale of the White Horse Survey: The study of a changing landscape in the clay lowlands of southern England from prehistory to the present

This study of `a changing landscape in the clay lowlands of southern Britain' is based on field walking of a 2 by 9.5 km area running NW across the vale from the chalk uplands of White Horse Hill, an area cutting across a wide range of local soil types. The southern end of the area overlaps with the Maddle farm survey completed by the author and V Gaffney a few years ago ( BAR 200, 1989, 20.00 ). The survey describes and maps finds of all periods from Prehistoric through Roman to Medieval and Post-Medieval.
