Odstock Copse earthwork is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Odstock in Wiltshire. The monument consists of interrupted ditch systems arranged in roughly concentric arcs, characteristic of causewayed enclosures of the early Neolithic period, dating to approximately 3700–3500 BCE. These earthworks would have served multiple functions including stock control, gathering places, and ceremonial sites for Neolithic communities. The site remains substantially visible as earthwork features within the modern landscape, preserving important evidence of early agricultural settlement and social organisation in southern Britain.
