Causewayed enclosure is a Neolithic ceremonial or defensive monument located in Staffordshire. The site dates to the early Neolithic period, broadly contemporary with similar enclosed settlements found elsewhere in southern and central Britain. Causewayed enclosures are characterised by interrupted ditch systems, which define their name, and are thought to have served functions including gathering places, markets, or refuges for pastoral communities. The Staffordshire example contributes to understanding the distribution and character of these enigmatic monuments in the Midlands region during the fourth millennium BC.
