Overview

History & significance

Oliver's Camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Winterbourne Stoke in Wiltshire. The site consists of a series of interrupted ditches forming an oval plan, characteristic of causewayed enclosures constructed during the early Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 2900 BCE. Two round barrows situated outside the main enclosure represent later Bronze Age activity at the location, indicating continued ritual use of the landscape in the millennia following the enclosure's construction. The monument survives as earthwork remains and represents an important example of early Neolithic communal gathering places in southern England.
