Compelling submission by ret’d field archaeologist, Dr David Field about ancient fields system next to A303: "It is now clear that systems of ancient fields dating at least to the Middle Bronze Age and probably much earlier flank the present A303 at the western end of the WHS /1

and the settlement from which these were farmed is likely to exist within the A303 corridor," he says. Dr Field concludes: the "zone thus becomes of enormous importance in realising the social mechanics of the communities that built Stonehenge." /2
