Ring ditches and rectilinear enclosures east of Tupsley is a Bronze Age and Iron Age monument complex located near Hereford in Herefordshire. The site comprises circular and rectangular earthwork enclosures defined by ditches, representing settlement and land division patterns characteristic of later prehistoric periods. The ring ditches indicate domestic occupation and possibly ceremonial activity typical of Bronze Age communities, whilst the rectilinear enclosures reflect the more organised agricultural and settlement practices associated with Iron Age development. The monument survives as buried or partially visible earthwork features and contributes to understanding of prehistoric occupation in the River Wye valley region.
