South Lodge Camp is an archaeological site of the Bronze Age, about 0.6 miles south-east of the village of Tollard Royal, in Wiltshire [1]. The site is in Berwick St John parish, on a gentle west-facing slope above a dry valley [1]. There is a Martin Down style enclosure (named after the enclosure at Martin Down, also on Cranborne Chase), and a cemetery of six round barrows nearby at Barrow Pleck [1]. The Salisbury Museum has a Bronze Age clay urn, found by Pitt Rivers in the ditch around the enclosure [1]. There was re-excavation from 1977 to 1981 by John Barrett, Richard Bradley and Martin Green [1]. Two round timber buildings, and a mound of burnt flint thought to be a cooking area, were found inside the enclosure [1]. The barrow cemetery originally consisted of six barrows, one of which had been destroyed before Pitt Rivers started his excavation [1].
