The Group of small enclosures on Horton Down is an archaeological monument comprising multiple small enclosures located on the chalk downland northeast of Easton Down in Wiltshire. The site dates to the prehistoric period, with the enclosures representing settlement or land management activity characteristic of Iron Age or possibly earlier Bronze Age occupation. The enclosures are visible as earthwork features in the landscape, forming a cluster of modest defensive or domestic structures typical of upland settlement patterns in southern England during antiquity. The monument sits within the broader archaeological complex of the Horton Down area, which contains multiple sites of prehistoric significance within the Wiltshire chalk country.
