Long mortuary enclosure and ring ditch 250m south west of Week Meadow Farm is a Neolithic funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises a long mortuary enclosure associated with a ring ditch, representing ritual and burial practices characteristic of the early Neolithic period. Such enclosures served as ceremonial and depositional spaces for the dead, with the ring ditch element suggesting a separate ritual feature, possibly indicating sequential or differentiated burial practices at the location. The monument survives as an archaeological earthwork and contributes to understanding of Neolithic settlement, death practices, and territorial organisation in south-western England.
