Causewayed enclosure, 900m west of Chimney Farm is a Neolithic monument located in Oxfordshire. The site consists of interrupted ditch systems characteristic of causewayed enclosures, a distinctive settlement and ritual monument type dating to the Early Neolithic period, broadly between 3700 and 3100 BC. These enclosures are defined by their segmented ditches with undigged gaps or causeways between sections, a feature that distinguishes them from later continuous defensive works. The monument represents an important aspect of early farming communities in southern Britain and contributes to understanding Neolithic settlement patterns and social organisation in the region.
