Causewayed Camp is a Neolithic enclosure located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditches arranged in concentric or segmented patterns, characteristic of causewayed camps constructed during the early to middle Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 3000 BCE. These monuments are thought to have served multiple functions including gathering places, ceremonial centres, and locations for periodic aggregation of dispersed communities. The interrupted nature of the ditches, which feature regular gaps or causeways between segments, distinguishes this monument type and suggests the ditches were not primarily defensive structures but rather served ritual or symbolic purposes within Neolithic society.
