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?

Arminghall Henge submitted by andy_h on 23rd Apr 2004. A view over the slight remains of Arminghall Henge to the south of Norwich.
All that remains is a vague dip in the ground, but this would once have been a spectacular site with a double bank and ditch and an internal setting of posts.

Log Text: Went past the site in teh 587 bus, two and hour, then got off in Trowse. There isn't much to see in the field but you aren't far from Whitlinghan country park. someone has already mentioned white horse lane, and I'm taken by whit lin ge ham... in the country park there is a thoroughly misleading poster board. One wonders whether something more couldn't be made of all this. Nothing in Norwich Museum which only starts with the Romans from what I can see. The 587 bus continues, or comes from, Caister, so you can add in some Roman stuff. The Pastscape article has bibliography, so to the UEA library for a read.
