Salperton Camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure situated near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. The monument consists of multiple interrupted ditch circuits that enclose an area of archaeological significance, characteristic of causewayed enclosures constructed during the early Neolithic period, roughly 3700 to 3100 BCE. These earthworks represent one of the earliest monumental structures in the British Isles and are thought to have served communal purposes including seasonal gatherings, storage, or ritual functions. The site survives as cropmark evidence and earthwork remains that contribute to understanding of early farming communities in the Cotswolds region.
