Holwood camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Sevenoaks in Kent. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditches arranged in concentric rings, characteristic of causewayed camps dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700–3500 BCE. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of occupation and activity consistent with the use of such enclosures as meeting places, seasonal gathering sites, or centres for ritual activity. The monument represents an important example of early agricultural settlement patterns in south-eastern England and contributes significantly to understanding Neolithic communities and their use of the landscape.
