A PIECE of street art which was on display at a Banksy exhibition last year has taken temporary residence near to Stonehenge for the summer solstice.

The Aftermath Dislocation Principle depicts a miniature post-riot scene inside a shipping container, and is touring the country following its popular appearance at dystopian theme park Dismaland.

It is visiting 38 spots around the UK which have experienced rioting and is at Cholderton to commemorate the Battle of the Beanfield which saw New Age Travellers and police clash in 1985.

The street art installation is free to view just off the junction from the A303 and a steady stream of solstice goers peered through peepholes to glimpse the unusual display which is in Cholderton until tomorrow morning.

Artist Jimmy Cauty said the artwork, which needs to be carried on the back of a lorry, has cost £100,000 to take on tour but since being on display at Dismaland it had proved popular. He said he had wanted to bring it close to the site of the Beanfield having attended the Stonehenge Free Festival which saw bloody confrontations between protesters and police.

"We wanted to take it right into the middle of the stone circle but that was beyond our capability," he said.

"I made it in 2013 and it had been touring in Holland but nobody had taken much interest in it, but it wasn't until Dismaland that people began to say that they really liked it. It has really taken on a life of its own now with the tour.

"It is really just an observation of what happens after a riot with the police having taken over everything and members of the press [being in attendance]."

As for Banksy, Jimmy remained tight lipped as to whether he met him during the Dismaland exhibition.

"I'm not really saying whether I know him or not," he added.

The Aftermath Dislocation Principle will be at Point A until tomorrow morning
