Park Hill camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Amesbury in Wiltshire. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditch segments arranged in concentric arcs, characteristic of causewayed camps dating to the early Neolithic period, roughly 3700–3500 BCE. Such enclosures are thought to have served multiple functions including seasonal gathering places, ceremonial centres, and livestock management areas. Park Hill camp represents an important example of early monumental architecture in southern England and contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and social organisation of Neolithic communities in the Wessex region.
