Thanks for that link... love those old books. I like to think that, should TMA archives survive in some way or another for the next 50-100 years future people might be able to say 'so that's what once existed at X farm before the farmer destroyed it in 2040'.

Re Maiden Castle... it is inconceivable that such a massive perimeter could ever have been defended in depth by the inhabitants so surely something else must have featured in the architects minds as well

I visited Maiden Castle last year and found a flint core dug out by rabbits. If one looks on google maps you can see two white spots towards the extreme west on one of the outer banks. Should still be there....In fact there were a couple of other possible worked pieces too.
I must say I had an real feeling of well being walking around. Just me and one other chap there. Sunny to begin with then the rain came in. Wouldn’t have had it any other way.
