Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations were undertaken by Wessex Archaeology at The Old Dairy, London Road, Amesbury, on behalf of Mansell Partnership Housing, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 416200 142000. The work was undertaken as a condition of planning consent to redevelop the site for residential use. The results produced unexpected evidence for multi-phase activity, much of it linked with funerary use, extending from at least the Middle Neolithic to the Anglo-Saxon period. The fieldwork was undertaken 22nd April and 5th June, and 18th to 19th December 2013. The earliest activity included two Middle Neolithic pits, one of which contained Peterborough Ware pottery. Three large ring ditches of Bronze Age date were recorded, and appear to represent a previously unrecorded funerary complex, located in an area that already boasts some of the densest concentrations of such monuments in the country. The largest ring ditch measured 28m in diameter. The site also revealed a small Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery spanning the late 7th-easrly 8th centuries. Five inhumations, most with grave goods, were arranged around a central inhumation burial. This burial, which was surrounded by a shallow ring ditch, had heavily disturbed and the bones rearranged, possibly within the Anglo-Saxon period.
