Martin's Clump, Porton Down is a Neolithic and Bronze Age monument complex comprising flint mines, a linear boundary, and two bowl barrows located on the chalk downland of Porton Down in Hampshire. The flint mines represent extraction activity from the Neolithic period, when high-quality flint was quarried for tool production, whilst the linear boundary earthwork reflects Bronze Age land management and territorial organisation. The two bowl barrows, characteristic Bronze Age burial monuments, are positioned within this landscape of intensive prehistoric activity. Together, these features constitute a palimpsest of settlement, resource exploitation, and ceremonial practice spanning several millennia of the prehistoric period.
