Bussock camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Inkpen in Berkshire. The monument consists of concentric interrupted ditches characteristic of causewayed enclosures dating to the early Neolithic period, roughly 3700 to 3000 BCE. Such sites are interpreted by archaeologists as serving ritual, ceremonial, or communal gathering functions rather than primarily defensive purposes, though their precise use remains subject to scholarly debate. Bussock camp represents an important example of early Neolithic monumental construction in southern England and contributes to understanding patterns of settlement and social organisation during this foundational period of the Neolithic.
