Martin Green's Museum at Down Farm,near Sixpenny Handley

Martin has his own museum on the small family farm which is part of the Chase, just south of Salisbury and where his family has farmed for generations. The museum displays local archaeological finds, a small rural life collection and geological specimens mainly from the Dorset coast.

The farm not only contains the Neolithic Dorset Cursus, numerous long barrows and Hambledon Hill, but over the last 30 years Henges, Shafts, Plastered Houses, Land Divisions, Enclosures and Cemetries have been identified and excavated by Martin

He featured on the BBC 2 history series Meet the Ancestors after finding a 5,000-year-old sacrificial burial site on the farm. He dug up four skeletons, which DNA testing showed were a 30-year-old woman, her five-year-old daughter and two other children.
