Robert Henry Cunnington (1877-1959) spent forty years in the Royal Engineers and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. He was the nephew of Edward Benjamin Howard Cunnington and descended from the Wiltshire archaeological dynasty of the Cunningtons.[1] When he retired in 1926 he was taken on by Edward and Maud Cunnington, because of his surveying skills, to work on their Woodhenge excavation and served also on their later excavations. He was a regular visitor to Alexander Keiller's excavations at Avebury in the 1930s. He published extensively on archaeology and geology, most notably with his biography of the first great Cunnington archaeologist in “From Antiquary to Archaeologist: Study of William Cunnington of Heytesbury, 1975”.[2][3]
