Objections have been raised to plans by Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes to film a first world war drama on Salisbury plain, not far from Stonehenge.
The Wiltshire archaeological and natural history society has insisted a full archaeological survey be carried out before any construction is allowed.
Wiltshire museum said it “welcome[s] the prospect of a major film being made in Wiltshire, but wish to ensure that the archaeology and environment is protected”.
A planning support statement says the main activity will be the construction of a temporary French farmhouse set.
