Boughton Quarry camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located in Kent, England. The site consists of interrupted ditch segments forming an enclosure that is characteristic of early Neolithic ceremonial and settlement sites in southern Britain, dating to approximately 3700–3500 BCE. The monument represents an important example of causewayed enclosure construction, a distinctive settlement form of the Neolithic period that served functions both domestic and ritual in nature. The site's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding early farming communities and their spatial organisation in prehistoric Kent.
