MOD has owned parts of the Plain since 1897 – and this is the reason for its preservation; no deep ploughing, fewer houses and road schemes. This satellite image demonstrates the case with the lack of fields and development #SPTAarchaeology
Today we are on the WEST of the Plain – the most restricted access. This area was bought later than others so not appearing on the 1906 military map. Another restriction – metal detection is prohibited on military training land perhaps for obvious reasons (BANG) #SPTAarchaeology
