All Cannings Cross, Archaeological site and scheduled monument in All Cannings, England
The excavation site contains thick layers of humic material with concentrations of pottery, animal bones, bronze tools, and iron implements from ancient settlements.
The location gained recognition when archaeologists Ben and Maud Cunnington discovered numerous hammerstones in a ploughed field within the Vale of Pewsey in 1911.
The pottery fragments found at the site exhibit advanced craftsmanship from the eighth to seventh century BC, with vessels featuring burnished surfaces resembling bronze.
All Cannings Cross sits 244 meters northeast of Cannings Cross Farm, accessible through designated pathways that lead to the protected archaeological grounds.
This settlement marks the first location in Britain where researchers identified the emergence of Iron Age technology through systematic archaeological investigation.
