Enclosure in Brandis Wood, 175m north of Longham is a prehistoric or Iron Age earthwork monument consisting of a substantial rectilinear or sub-rectangular enclosed area defined by banks and ditches. The site lies within Devon's archaeological landscape and represents a form of settlement or defensive enclosure typical of later prehistoric communities in the southwest of England. The earthwork remains visible as surface features within the woodland setting, preserving evidence of land-use and territorial organisation during the Iron Age period or earlier phases of the prehistoric sequence. Such enclosures served multiple functions ranging from settlement defence to animal management or ceremonial purposes, and the site contributes to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns in Devon.
