Causewayed Camp is a Neolithic earthwork monument located in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of a series of interrupted ditches arranged in concentric formations, characteristic of causewayed enclosures that date to the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3500 BCE. Such monuments are thought to have served multiple functions, including ceremonial gathering places, livestock management enclosures, and defensive structures. The interrupted nature of the ditches, which leave regular gaps or causeways, distinguishes this class of monument and remains a subject of archaeological interpretation regarding both practical purpose and symbolic significance within early agricultural communities.
