Abstract:		 Research excavations at this ruined chambered tomb formed part of a project to investigate the Neolithic sequence and context in the Avebury area. Radiocarbon dates place the monument in the later fourth millennium BC. Molluscan and soil analysis show a cleared setting, which closed in before being opened again in the Late Neolithic to EBA. The barrow had two pairs of flanking ditches, and the layout of the eastern end, which yielded human bone, may have been elaborate. The monument provides the first well documented information for the Neolithic period about the Lower Chalk plateau north of Windmill Hill, and can be related to other developments in the Neolithic of the area. Specialist reports begin with `Radiocarbon dates' by J Ambers & R Housley (24-6). `Molluscan analysis' by J Harris & J G Evans (26-32) is followed by `Micromorphological analysis of soils and sediments' by R I Macphail (32-4) and `Animal bone' by B Noddle (34-6). `The Neolithic human remains' by D Brothwell (36-8), `Pottery' by L Zienkiewicz (38-40) and `Worked flint' by J Pollard (40-4) complete this section. Finally, there follow `Appendix 1. Basic soil micromorphological descriptions' by R I Macphail (48-50) `Appendix 2. Dating, associations and contexts of flint polished-edge blade knives' by J Pollard (51-2).
