Causewayed enclosure 175m west of Wheler Lodge Farm is a Neolithic monument located in Leicestershire. The site consists of interrupted ditches arranged in a roughly circular pattern, characteristic of causewayed enclosures that were constructed during the early Neolithic period, approximately 4000 to 3500 BCE. These earthworks represent one of the earliest forms of monumental construction in Britain and are thought to have served multiple functions including ceremonial, defensive, and communal gathering purposes. The enclosure survives as buried archaeological remains, with its precise dimensions and internal features established through archaeological investigation and recorded in the county's Scheduled Monument records.
