Hasting Hill cursus and causewayed enclosure is a Neolithic monument complex located approximately 600 metres south of Hasting Hill Farm in Durham, England. The site comprises two distinct archaeological features: a cursus, a long ceremonial earthwork characteristic of the earlier Neolithic period, and a causewayed enclosure, a ditched enclosure with interrupted ditch segments typical of Neolithic settlement and ritual use. Both monuments reflect the ceremonial and domestic practices of Neolithic communities in northern England, contributing to the archaeological understanding of early farming settlement patterns in the region. The site remains visible as earthwork features and is protected as a scheduled monument under English heritage legislation.
