It has been suggested (Field pers comm.) that the numerous natural depressions (swallets) which occur throughout Savernake Forest could have acted as religious foci within the prehistoric era. Elsewhere in southern England ritual deposition of material and in some cases burials have been have been found placed in natural holes and shafts. Some examples have yielded deposits from multiple prehistoric periods. It is possible that some of the enclosures encountered in Savernake are linked to ritual activity and perhaps explain the absence of agricultural activity within Savernake. ©ENGLISH HERITAGE 15 29-2009
