The Interrupted ditch system at Potash Farm is a Neolithic monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a series of ditches that are characteristic of causewayed enclosures, a distinctive monument type found across Neolithic Britain dating to approximately 3700–3000 BCE. The interrupted pattern of the ditches, created by regular gaps or causeways, is typical of these communal gathering places and suggests the site served functions related to ritual, exchange, or seasonal assembly. The earthwork remains demonstrate the substantial labour investment undertaken by Neolithic communities in constructing these monumental enclosures.
