Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area: the Leicester walkover survey

University of Leicester Archaeological Services carried out a walkover survey of the Dhekelia garrison and Kingsfield airstrip under the direction of M. Beamish, funded by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation Overseas Stewardship Project¹. It aimed to relocate about sixty archaeological locations recorded in the early 1960s, before the garrison and airstrip were built^1,2. The locations found included quarries and tombs of uncertain date and five historic buildings, and the reports give the number relocated as between 40 and 51^1,2. The reports state that some earlier records were unreliable and that some locations had been lost to development². The fieldwork was reported in March 2024^1,2.
