Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken in August and September 2011 at Porton Down, Wiltshire (NGR 421450 136400), in advance of the proposed construction of new magazines, ancillary structures and associated access roads. The most important discovery was a funerary monument of Early Bronze Age date which comprised an unusually complex sequence of eight or more burials surrounded by a (probably later) segmented ditch 15m in diameter. Although the precise sequence remains to be determined, the earliest burial appears to have been that of an adult female in the centre of the monument. Part of a probable Late Bronze Age 'Wessex Linear Ditch' crossed the northern part of the site. Further south was a smaller, rather sinuous ditch with at least two narrow entrances which may also have been of Bronze Age date, although whether it pre- or post-dated the 'Wessex Linear' is currently unclear
