Little Woodbury, Wiltshire

Little Woodbury is a palisaded Iron Age farmstead near Salisbury, Wiltshire. It consisted of a circular post-built house surrounded by corn-drying frames, granaries, and storage pits, all enclosed within a wooden stockade. It was probably occupied from the 4th-2nd centuries BC. The excavation of the site by Gerhard Bersu in 1938-9 set new standards in British Iron Age studies. It is within the council area of Wiltshire.
