Church Hill earthwork is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Winterbourne Monkton in Wiltshire. The monument comprises a series of interrupted ditch segments arranged in concentric arcs, a characteristic feature of causewayed camps dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700 to 3500 BCE. The site's physical remains consist of substantial earthwork banks and ditches that are still visible in the landscape today. Church Hill represents an important example of early Neolithic settlement and communal gathering places, reflecting the social and economic practices of some of Britain's earliest farming communities.
