		Durrington is somewhat unusual community in that it is small village that has grown to the size of a town because of a large army camp that has been in the parish since the early 20th century.
		Durrington Walls is between 1,500 and 1,700 feet in diameter and encloses some 30 acres.
		Durrington continued to expand in the 1960s, after a drop in population in the 1950s owing to fewer military personnel being in the parish.

		A conjectural plan of Durrington Walls and Woodhenge, showing the third entrance towards Woodhenge.
		Stonehenge may not usually be thought of as a 'riverside' site but its link to the River Avon via the Avenue, (together with the presence upsteam of the monument complex of Woodhenge and Durrington Walls) highlights a stretch of river which could have had significance as a funerary and processional route in the Later Neolithic.

	ThothWeb - Stonehenge: Winter, Not Summer Solstice Site?
		The evidence, the remains of pigs that were roasted around 2,500 years ago, at least suggests that the seasons were marked with some form of celebration or ritual the researchers said.
		Because the bones were found at nearby Durrington Walls, a timber oval monument dated to approximately 3100 B.C., scientists believe the find also indicates that Stonehenge was part of an interconnected group of early monuments at and around the Salisbury Plain.
		Durrington Walls, in fact, might have included an enclosed circular building on the site, which suggests that, instead of eating roasted pig outside on a cold winter's day, individuals might have gathered indoors for the feast or ritual.

		Durrington Walls is sited within a hanging valley and the cutting undoubtedly has a geomorphological origin as a valley bottom terminating in a low river cliff.
		The slot trenches located at the intersection between the prehistoric boundaries and the medieval leat allowed vertical sections of the field walls to be exposed and demonstrated that the reaves varied cons’iderably in construction style even along the length of a single boundary.
		Of course, if the stone walls overlay earlier boundaries of which no trace remains, then it may only have been the reaves themselves that were built ‘piecemeal’; the original boundaries may still have been laid out as an integrated system.

		Later, the henge monuments of Coneybury, Durrington Walls and Woodhenge were constructed: earthen ceremonial enclosures which contained settings of timber uprights.
		By the later Neolithic, scatters of flint which may document occupation patterns were a little denser in the Stonehenge region, and there are indications that those concentrations to the west of the monument contain a greater 'industrial' element (Richards 1990: 24).
		Although artefactual evidence of the occupation of the Stonehenge area is scant, there are continued indications of settlement in the form of the hillfort of Vespasian's Camp, to the east of Stonehenge, and a later Iron Age enclosed settlement immediately north of Durrington Walls (Richards 1990: 280).

		I had always been aware of the location of the modern settlement of Durrington, and often when driving down to Stonehenge I would keep my eyes open on both sides of the road for signs of massive earthworks.
		It was only during a fairly recent visit to Woodhenge that I finally realised where Durrington Walls was and spotted the huge bank encircling the site.
