Reasons for Scheduling

The most complete and extensive survival of downland archaeological
remains in central southern England occurs on Salisbury Plain,
particularly in those areas lying within the Salisbury Plain Training
Area. These remains represent one of the few extant archaeological
"landscapes" in Britain and are considered to be of special
significance because they differ in character from those in other areas
with comparable levels of preservation. Individual sites on Salisbury
Plain are seen as being additionally important because the evidence of
their direct association with each other survives so well.

Twenty-eight Neolithic long barrows have been identified in the
Salisbury Plain Training Area. As a monument type long barrows are
sufficiently rare nationally that, unless severely damaged, all
examples surviving as earthworks are considered to be of national
importance.
