Enclosures and trackways is a prehistoric monument complex located in Oxfordshire, England, comprising a system of linear earthworks and associated enclosed fields that reflect patterns of settlement and land management during the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The monument consists of parallel ditches and banks that form trackways connecting distinct enclosure complexes, demonstrating evidence of organised territorial division and pastoral or agricultural land use typical of later prehistoric communities in the English Midlands. The survival of these features as visible earthworks provides important archaeological evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement hierarchies, settlement patterns, and the evolution of field systems in this region during the second and first millennia before the Common Era.
