The Portway (Roman road)
Thursday 9th May
8:02pm
Portway, the Roman road coming from the northeast (Silchester). Around 2007 I excavated a section through the Roman road, within land owned by Old Sarum Airfield. You can still see the backfilled evaluation trenches in the Google Maps aerial view (2013). The road was mostly ploughed out, the base of the metalling present and shallow remnants of roadside ditches.

Old Sarum Airfield
Thursday 9th May
8:16pm
Established on land requisitioned by the War Office in 1917 for use by the Royal Flying Corps.

A multivallate Iron Age hillfort, oval in plan, measuring 580 metres east-west by 460 metres north-south. The earthworks are well preserved and comprise two banks and a medial ditch with two entrances, one on the eastern side which is approached by a causeway and one on the west side which is thought to be medieval in origin.

Another photograph discussed at the get together in Chippenham: stunning Old Sarum.

Old Sarum airfield is visible in the top right background. Opened in 1917 it was one of the first UK airfields. I believe the hangars visible in the image are still standing as listed buildings.
