This book presents the results of study in the two Wiltshire parishes of Fyfield and Overton Down. The project used a diverse range of research methods, from archaeological excavation and experimental archaeology through the study of environmental and documentary evidence to the non-invasive techniques of geophysics and air photography, to try to elucidate how and when the landscape came by its present appearance. The author draws three illuminating conclusions from this investigation. First, very little, if any, of this landscape is now `natural'; it has been created by the agricultural activities of successive communities over the last 6,000 years. Second, the nature of this `artefact' has been, and continues to be, influenced by the geology, hydrology, soils and climate of the area. Finally, the principal land-use features of the present landscape were established at particular times over the last four millennia, and that what has come to be seen as a quintessentially `English' landscape was in fact set some fifteen hundred years ago.
