Castle Ditches camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure situated near Winterbourne Stoke in Wiltshire. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditches and banks forming concentric rings, characteristic of causewayed enclosures of the fourth millennium BC. Causewayed enclosures of this period are among the earliest monumental constructions in Britain and are thought to have served multiple functions including gathering places, ceremonial centres, and defensive positions. Castle Ditches represents an important example of early Neolithic settlement and communal activity in the Wessex region.
