Wiltshire is well known for its Bronze Age barrows, especially those that survive within the landscape of the World Heritage site of Stonehenge and on the chalklands of Cranborne Chase. In contrast, little is known of similar sites that existed closer to the medieval city of Salisbury. However, construction of a new residential housing development by Vistry at Netherhampton Road, on the edge of Harnham (a southern suburb of Salisbury), a southern suburb of Salisbury, has provided the opportunity to uncover some of the remains of a major round barrow cemetery and its landscape setting.
