Holwood camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure situated near Sevenoaks in Kent. The monument consists of interrupted ditches and banks forming a roughly circular plan, typical of causewayed enclosures constructed during the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700 to 3500 BC. Excavations have recovered pottery, flint tools, and other artefacts consistent with early agricultural settlement and communal activity. The site represents an important example of early Neolithic settlement practice in south-eastern England, reflecting the adoption of farming communities and their establishment of gathering places for social and economic purposes.
