Little Woodbury

Little Woodbury is the name of an Iron Age archaeological site in Britford parish, near Salisbury in the English county of Wiltshire. The site, which is just north of Salisbury District Hospital, is a scheduled monument. The site lies about 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) south of the centre of Salisbury and 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Odstock village, at grid reference SU149279. It was partially excavated in 1938 and 1939 by Gerhard Bersu. In excavations like Little Woodbury he introduced the revolutionary approaches in the excavation of settlements (e.g. the identification of timber post remains) developed in continental Europe during previous decades.
