Little Woodbury

Little Woodbury

Early Iron Age settlement in England, just south of Salisbury, Wiltshire. It was a small fortified farmstead inhabited some time during the 5th–3rd centuries BC, with evidence of stock rearing and grain storage in underground pits.

Little Woodbury was originally excavated before World War II by Gerhard Bersu (1889–1964) and, as the first such site to be scientifically investigated, has become the type name for all other similar settlements. It was later re-excavated and reinterpreted, but remains important for considering the relationship between territory and cultural identity as seen in the site's material culture.
