The interrupted ditch system at Potash Farm is a Neolithic monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a series of segmented or interrupted ditches characteristic of Neolithic causewayed enclosures, a defensive and ritual settlement form common in southern Britain during the fourth millennium before the Common Era. Such systems typically enclosed substantial areas and served multiple functions including stock control, ceremonial gathering, and protection. The monument represents an important surviving example of early agricultural settlement in East Anglia and contributes to understanding Neolithic territorial organisation and social practices in the region.
