South Lodge Camp

Also known as: South Lodge camp Bronze Age enclosure with associated field system and round barrow cemetery, 350m east of Rushmore Farm

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].
