The Stonehenge element of the World Heritage property is located within the parishes of Durrington, Shrewton, Amesbury, Winterbourne Stoke and Wilsford cum Lake. The property was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1986, on the nomination of the UK Government.

    Stonehenge A303 improvement: Addendum to outline assessment of the impacts on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property of potential route options presented by Highways England for January 2017 Assessment of route option D081C Nicola Snashall BA MA PhD MCIfA National Trust Christopher Young BA MA DPhil FSA Christopher Young Heritage Consultancy March 2017 ©Historic England and the National Trust Stonehenge A303 improvement: addendum assessing route option D081C final draft Executive Summary Following a public consultation exercise in early 2017, Highways England have developed a further route option, D081C, for the A303 from the western tunnel portal to the western boundary of the Stonehenge World Heritage property. This report has been commissioned by Historic England and the National Trust to inform their response to this proposal. It describes and analyses only the impacts of option D081C and must be read in conjunction with our earlier report (Snashall and Young 2017), which contains our assessment of the remainder of the route and our overall evaluation of its impact on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property as a whole. Route D081C as proposed by Highways England - D081C (2) - postulates a western tunnel exit just to the south of the current A303 close to the Normanton Down barrow group. The below-ground section of the road is extended by a 300m long canopy (Fig. 3). From that exit, the new dual carriageway, utilising a shallow fold in the landscape, diverges slightly from the present line of the A303 and crosses the World Heritage boundary to the south of the present A303/ A360 junction.

  • Alignment and Axiality in Anglo-Saxon Architecture: 6Th-11Th Centuries

    Alignment and Axiality in Anglo-Saxon Architecture: 6Th-11Th Centuries

    Alignment and Axiality in Anglo-Saxon Architecture: 6th-11th Centuries Anastasia Moskvina Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies Submitted: May 2020 Word count: 119,152. Abstract Axial alignment is an intriguing aspect of Anglo-Saxon architecture, which has occupied scholars for some time but has not been researched thoroughly and systematically. This thesis offers an assessment of Anglo-Saxon sites – secular and ecclesiastical – featuring alignment, analyses their recurring features and addresses functional and cultic aspects of these sites. One of the resulting conclusions is that alignment is a fairly uniform phenomenon across both secular and ecclesiastical sites, and in fact secular and ecclesiastical contexts should not be treated as separate. It has also been possible to demonstrate that alignment is an Insular phenomenon and not a result of Continental influence, which challenges the existing research on this subject. Instead, it has been proposed that Anglo-Saxon alignment has its origins in the British Isles and was inspired by a multitude of existing prehistoric linear compositions in the landscape. 2 Access Condition and Agreement Each deposit in UEA Digital Repository is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights, and duplication or sale of all or part of any of the Data Collections is not permitted, except that material may be duplicated by you for your research use or for educational purposes in electronic or print form.

Several of these either incorporate or refer to features of the landscape such as solution hollows, dry valleys, hilltops and rivers, as well as to astronomical phenomena. An appraisal of this evidence alongside other recent programmes of research around Stonehenge suggest an accreting pattern of development of this landscape that begins in the 38th century BC, and which throws new light on the location and meaning of several of the ceremonial earthworks, including Stonehenge itself. The sunrise from the Lark Hill causewayed enclosure 1. Introduction A recent programme of survey and excavation carried out by Wessex Archaeology as part of the Ministry of Defence's Army Basing Programme revealed a wealth of archaeological remains including a causewayed enclosure, henges, pits and burials. These results have demonstrated that some of the key relationships and foundational principles of the Stonehenge landscape pre-date the earliest phases of Stonehenge itself by at least 600 years, and that the development of the ceremonial landscape was an intermittent but continuous process of working and reworking over millennia, away from, as well as at, Stonehenge.
