Oval enclosure, SW of Stowey House, is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in Somerset. The site consists of an oval-shaped enclosed area defined by bank and ditch earthworks characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region. Dating evidence and archaeological survey have provisionally assigned the monument to the Iron Age period, though definitive dating would require further investigation. The enclosure represents a form of settlement or defensive structure typical of Iron Age communities in south-western England, and its survival as an upstanding earthwork preserves evidence of prehistoric land use and social organisation in the Somerset landscape.
