Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation, excavation and watching brief during work to upgrade the Longbarrow Crossroads roundabout. This work formed part of a wider scheme to provide new visitor facilities at the Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS). The work involved the installation of additional lanes to improve traffic flow at the roundabout, and proposed the relocation of the central island to the south-west, providing an improved setting for the Winterbourne Stoke Long Barrow. The work was considered necessary, not only to improve the setting at the fringes of the Stonehenge WHS, but also to address the likely impact on a linear ditch of probable Late Bronze Age date, that ran along the projected line of the new carriageway. The line of the ditch was confirmed by trench evaluation. Two excavated sections, one hand-dug, recorded its broad, tapering profile that had filled with a series of natural silts. Nothing was found to confirm its date. The work also established that a further ditch, recorded during the initial construction of the roundabout in 1967 and listed as a 'stockade trench', cut through the tertiary fills of the supposed Late Bronze Age linear ditch. Work also recorded a number of field boundary ditches associated with 'Celtic field' systems to the south-east of the roundabout, with another to the north of the roundabout, at the site of a construction compound.
