Lundy is a small offshore island set in the approaches to the Bristol Channel. Prior to the late 1980s several excavations and artefact collections demonstrated the presence of prehistoric and historic communities on the island. Yet, despite this, little was understood of the intensity of occupation and the archaeological context within which the excavated sites occurred. Two surveys, one by the National Trust and one directed by the author, have been running concurently since 1988 with the aim of placing the well-documented sites or places in their spatial and behavioural context. This paper describes one element of the author's landscape survey project: the prehistoric occupation
