Enclosure on Summer Down is a prehistoric earthwork located in Wiltshire. The monument comprises a ditched enclosure of probable Neolithic or Bronze Age date, representing a form of defensive or demarcated settlement pattern common to southern English prehistory. The earthwork survives as a series of banks and ditches defining an enclosed area, evidence of early land organisation and settlement activity on the Wiltshire downlands. Such enclosures reflect the increasing social complexity and territorial awareness of prehistoric communities during the third and second millennia before the common era.
