Bindon Hill camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Dorchester in Dorset, England. The monument consists of interrupted ditch systems forming concentric circuits on the hilltop, a characteristic feature of causewayed enclosures dating to the fourth millennium BC. Such enclosures served multiple functions in Neolithic communities, including gathering places, defensive positions, and ritual centres. The site's position on elevated terrain afforded views across the surrounding landscape and would have been prominent in the settlement pattern of early Neolithic Dorset.
