Honeyditches is a Neolithic earthwork located in Devon, England. The monument consists of a causewayed enclosure, a form of settlement and ceremonial site characteristic of early Neolithic communities in Britain, dating to approximately 4000-3500 BCE. Causewayed enclosures are defined by their interrupted ditch systems and internal banks, which served functions ranging from seasonal gathering places to defensive positions. The site represents important evidence of early agricultural settlement patterns and social organisation in south-west England during the Neolithic period.
