Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a programme of archaeological work comprising excavation, geophysical profiling and topographic survey at Arthur's Stone, a Neolithic burial chamber located on Merbach Hill near Dorstone in Herefordshire (SAM 19140). Arthur's Stone lies within a prehistoric landscape with features dating from the Mesolithic and Neolithic period, the monument itself is believed to date to between 3,500-2,400 BC (5,500-4,400 BP). The work was undertaken as part of Scheduled Monument Consent relating to repairs to the monument's perimeter fence. The work encompassed production of contour and hachure plans the excavation of eight fence post-holes which were subsequently profiled using a magnetic susceptibility meter. A dry-stone wall that formed part of the outer wall of the monument was located by the excavation of a post-hole on the south-east side of the mound. The finding of the wall is significant as this feature was not previously known to exist, and it adds to the understanding of the monument. The wall can be compared with a similar feature, which is part of Bach Long Barrow, located 5km to the west of Dorstone.
