Ring ditch 250m NNE of Thorn Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located within the Seven Barrows complex near Thruxton in Hampshire. The site consists of a circular ditch, characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices, which likely enclosed a barrow or burial mound, though any central earthwork may now be largely eroded or ploughed away. Ring ditches of this type typically date to the second millennium BCE and served as markers for elite or communal burials. The monument forms part of a significant group of prehistoric burial features that illustrate the settlement and ceremonial landscape of Bronze Age Hampshire.
