Indeed - the pay level is below the starting salary for similarly qualified and experienced senior project managers in a contracting unit, let alone the consultancy world.
The international importance of archaeology within the county of Wiltshire has to merit appointment of someone who can command sufficient respect and who can be a suitable advocate for it within and outside the authority. Unlikely for this salary I would have thought (unless someone is desperate to escape from another place).
I know money is no everything etc etc but when the average house price in Wilts is above £200k, it has to play a part.
It is interesting to compare the salary with other Wilts CC jobs on offer to see where they see it lying in their strategic thinking and how they value (sic) the post.
