CENSUS

South Wonston West Long Barrow
Winchester District


"We turned down several other better-preserved and more immediately impressive sites in favour of the small patch of overgrown land where the only indication of its significance was an information board. Surrounded by a modern housing estate, one would be forgiven for passing it by without a second thought." (Glenn Boulter and Chris Maxted)

The book produced illuminates how the artists, using quasi-archaeological techniques, encouraged South Wonston Primary School children to have a better understanding of the barrow and its sanctity, as relevant to us today.

With thanks to Winchester Archaeology and Local History Group for their support.

 

There will be an exhibition and presentation of the artists' books
at South Wonston Primary School on Monday 8th January 2007
