Causewayed enclosure 900m west of Great Wilbraham parish church is a Neolithic monument located in Cambridgeshire, England. The site consists of interrupted ditch systems characteristic of causewayed enclosures, a settlement form prevalent in southern Britain during the early Neolithic period, roughly 3700 to 3000 BCE. Such enclosures typically served multiple functions including livestock management, periodic gathering places, and defensive positions, though their precise role remains subject to scholarly debate. The Great Wilbraham example forms part of the broader archaeological landscape of Neolithic Cambridgeshire, contributing to understanding of early farming communities and their land use patterns in the region.
