Heath Wood earthwork is a Neolithic monument located in Wiltshire. The site consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a ditch and internal bank, characteristic of Neolithic causewayed enclosures or related ritual monuments of the fourth millennium BC. The earthwork survives as an upstanding feature in the modern landscape, though its precise original dimensions and construction details have been modified by subsequent land use and erosion. Causewayed enclosures of this type are believed to have served ceremonial, communal, or defensive functions during the Neolithic period, marking significant ritual or gathering places within prehistoric settlement patterns.
