Camp at Nine Yews is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure situated in Dorset. The monument comprises a series of interrupted ditch segments arranged in a defensive or ceremonial configuration characteristic of early Neolithic settlement patterns in southern Britain, dating to approximately 3700–3500 BCE. The site's ditches were deliberately segmented rather than continuous, a feature typical of causewayed camps that facilitated movement and drainage whilst maintaining a defined boundary. Archaeological investigation has identified domestic and ritual deposits within the enclosure, contributing to understanding of early farming communities in the region during the fourth millennium BCE.
