Keyhole enclosure SE of Field Barn Farm is a Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial monument located in Hampshire. The site comprises two conjoined circular earthworks forming a distinctive keyhole configuration, a layout characteristic of Bronze Age enclosed spaces in southern England. The earthworks survive as low banks and ditches, reflecting the monument's original construction through the excavation and piling of soil. The precise ceremonial or domestic function of the enclosure remains unclear, though such monuments are typically dated to the middle or later Bronze Age and may have served purposes ranging from burial ritual to settlement demarcation or gathering spaces.
