Castle Rings camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Marden in Wiltshire. The monument comprises a series of interrupted ditches arranged in concentric rings, characteristic of causewayed camps of the fourth millennium BC. The site represents evidence of communal gathering and possibly ritual activity during the Early Neolithic period, when such enclosures served functions beyond simple defensive fortification. Castle Rings is situated within the broader landscape of Neolithic monuments in the Vale of Pewsey, contributing to understanding of settlement patterns and ceremonial practices in prehistoric southern Britain.
