Abstract
The hot and dry summer of 1995 once again proved the value and cost-ef fectiveness of aerial survey. Numerous parchmarks were a product of th e dry conditions throughout England, but especially in chalk grassland , and they revealed important new archaeological information. A parchm ark within the great Neolithic henge at Avebury identifies a new subte rranean feature, confirmed by geophysical survey, which fills in furth er details of the Avebury enclosure.
