Crickley Hill camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditch segments arranged in concentric arcs across the hilltop, characteristic of causewayed enclosure design from the early fourth millennium BCE. Archaeological investigations have revealed evidence of occupation and activity spanning the Neolithic period, with material culture suggesting connections to wider Neolithic settlement patterns in the Cotswolds region. The monument represents an important example of early prehistoric communal gathering or settlement infrastructure in the West Midlands.
