Casterley Camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure situated near Upavon in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a series of interrupted ditches arranged in concentric rings, a characteristic feature of causewayed enclosures dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700–3500 BC. The site reflects the communal gathering places and ceremonial functions typical of Neolithic communities in southern Britain, though its specific purpose—whether defensive, ritual, or primarily domestic—remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The earthworks remain visible as cropmarks and surface features, preserving evidence of this significant early agricultural settlement phase in the Wiltshire landscape.
