Banjo enclosure 480m south west of Cheldene is a Bronze Age ceremonial or domestic earthwork located in Wiltshire. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular enclosed area connected by a narrow entrance passage, a configuration characteristic of banjo enclosures found across southern England during the Bronze Age period. Such enclosures are thought to have served ritual, ceremonial, or high-status residential functions, though their precise purpose remains debated amongst archaeologists. The earthwork survives as an upstanding archaeological feature, contributing to the archaeological landscape of the Wiltshire downlands.
