Four Highworth circles is a Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial site located approximately 150 metres north-east of Pickett's Copse near Highworth in Wiltshire. The monument consists of four circular earthworks arranged as a complex, typical of later prehistoric ritual landscapes that characterised the Wessex region. The site represents an important element of Bronze Age settlement and religious practice in the wider Highworth area, where multiple contemporary monuments suggest intensive use of the landscape during the second millennium BC. The earthworks remain visible as low banks and ditches in the modern terrain.
