Overview

History & significance

Enclosures 1500m SE of Little Faringdon is a scheduled ancient monument located in Oxfordshire comprising earthwork remains of prehistoric or Romano-British field systems and settlement features. The site consists of linear ditches and banks forming enclosure patterns that are characteristic of Iron Age or Romano-British agricultural organisation, though the precise dating remains uncertain without extensive excavation. The earthworks survive as upstanding or levelled features visible in the landscape, representing the continuation or development of land management practices across the later prehistory and Romano-British periods. Such enclosure systems typically served both practical purposes in stock management and territorial definition and reflect the increasing formalisation of the countryside during these periods.
