Log Text: Salisbury railway station from the 09.41 out of Surbiton, then the bus 2 to Devizes change to the 49 to Swindon. Bus stop by pub. Huge amount of traffic means walking life threatening. There are no maps in the NT retail opportunity for the area, and they don't do walkers' leaflets. The interchange in Devizes should fail so time to do the museum. This is a spiral of virtue matter. There is also a bus 4 to Marlborough with a really strange timetable, but that means Bedwyn Marlborough or Marlborough Salisbury. The unusability of rail tickets across the network is another spiral of virtue matter, so that is two small ones.
Add to the bibliography Pollard Avebury.
Then in Field on Earthern long barrows I find something on Horslip Bridge which adds to the complexity, what is an enclosure, causewayed, what is a barrow, long, earthern, and why are they called morturary or burial when many don't appear to have any bodies at all?
Fussell's Lodge
Date Added: 15th Apr 2016
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes
Fussell's Lodge submitted by Andy B on 14th Aug 2007. Reconstruction drawings showing the different ways Neolithic communities closed their burial sites: at Ascott-under-Wychwood, the chamber was walled up; at Hazleton offerings were made; at Fussell's Lodge the wooden mortuary chamber was burnt and a large barrow constructed; and in West Kennet, people simply stopped placing corpses in the tomb. These differences indicate that contemporary Neolithic societies are much more varied than we previously thought.

Log Text: damn, made this mistake before, didn't notice the number business so an entire essay disappeared without trace.
And now I can't find all the other comments, which popped up from a google search for which MP was almost the first posting.
