Enclosures and linear trackways SE of Newton is a prehistoric monument comprising a complex of ditched enclosures and associated trackway features located in Cambridgeshire. The site consists of rectilinear and curvilinear ditched enclosures of probable Iron Age date, representing settlement or land management activity of the later prehistoric period. Linear trackways visible within and adjoining the enclosure system indicate communication routes and pastoral or agricultural use patterns contemporary with the enclosed areas. The monument survives as earthwork features detectable through aerial photography and field survey, providing evidence of Iron Age land organisation and settlement strategy in the East Anglian landscape.
