Martinsell Hill camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Marden in Wiltshire, dating to approximately 3700–3500 BCE. The monument consists of multiple concentric ditches interrupted by causeways crossing the earthwork, a characteristic feature of early Neolithic communal sites in southern Britain. The enclosure occupies a prominent hilltop position and is considered one of the better-preserved examples of its class in the region. Such causewayed camps are interpreted as centres for seasonal gathering, exchange, and ceremonial activity during the early Neolithic period.
