Highworth circle is a Bronze Age ring monument located approximately 350 metres north-east of Common Farm near Highworth in Wiltshire. The site consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of monuments from the second millennium BCE, representing an important class of ceremonial or burial structures that defined the ritual landscape of prehistoric Wessex. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork, though like many such sites it has undergone considerable degradation through agricultural activity and the passage of time. Its survival within the modern landscape provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and the ceremonial practices of communities in the Upper Thames valley region.
