Bindon Hill Camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Dorchester in Dorset. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditches arranged in concentric arcs on the hilltop, characteristic of causewayed camps dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700–3500 BC. The monument represents evidence of early farming communities in Dorset and their gathering practices, though the precise function of such enclosures remains subject to archaeological debate. The site has been partially excavated and survives as an upstanding earthwork, contributing to our understanding of Neolithic settlement and land use in southern Britain.
