Little Woodbury was an Iron Age farmstead which was excavated in
the late nineteen thirties. The excavation, though never completed
due to the outbreak of World War Two, changed the views of British
archaeologists on how people lived in pre-Roman Britain. Nothing
can now be seen of Little Woodbury, but the remains still lie there
under the field adjacent to the cache, at N 51 03.025 W 001 47.245
. You can find more information about Little Woodbury here.
This pleasant location, with its beech belt and its views of the
city and the cathedral, seems recently to have become a dumping
ground for local cowboy builders, but it is still a spot worth
visiting.
There is a long lay-by at N 51 03.043 W 001 47.582. From there
cross the road and walk south to the right of way sign, then follow
the footpath. If there are horses in the field they won't bother
you, as they're tethered. The frequent dog walkers and occasional
riders are not, and may be a problem while you're searching for the
cache.
The container itself is a 500ml pot, so this is a small cache.
It's painted black.
This cache is very close to Salisbury District Hospital. Shortly
after first visiting the location with a view to putting a cache
here I was rushed to that hospital for an emergency operation,
without which this cache would never have been placed.
