Quelle surprise...
If people leave dressed stone lying about that nobody is using, what does anybody expect is going to happen. ;)
Yes indeed...you only have to walk through Caerwent (Venta Silurum) to see this in stark evidence
The original Cathedral was sited inside Old Sarum hill fort.
The quarry caves at Chilmark where the stone for Salisbury Cathedral was dug had a much later military purpose. I was brought up only a couple of miles away when it was used by the RAF as a bomb store. The rail main line to Exeter was next to the site with a spur to unloading bays where the bombs were loaded onto a narrow gauge railway to be taken into the caves. RAF Chilmark has now morphed into a counter-terrorism training centre, but part of the quarry has reopened and is producing stone again.
