Alexander Keiller Museum
Date Added: 27th Jun 2012
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2011. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
Alexander Keiller Museum submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2008. The door to the Barn Gallery at Avebury. The barn is kept very cool in order to preserve the structure of the 17th century building, so it only houses a few archaeological exhibits - according to the NT leaflet it 'tells the story of the landscape through a fully interactive display'. Most of the archaeology collection is in the nearby Stables Gallery. Both are covered by the same admission ticket, unless you are a member of the National Trust (in which case both galleries are free).

Old Winchester Hill hillfort
Date Added: 27th Jun 2012
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Hampshire)

Old Winchester Hill hillfort submitted by JimChampion on 19th Feb 2005. February 2005, looking north at the southern aspect of Old Winchester Hill. The recently-ploughed fields show the underlying chalk in this region. In his ebooklet Andy Barrett suggests that the name of this hillfort is a corruption of the Celtic "Gwynchester" meaning White City, after the appearance of the chalky ramparts when it was first constructed.
