Sharpridge earthworks is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located in Wiltshire. The monument comprises a series of interrupted ditch segments arranged in concentric patterns, characteristic of causewayed enclosures built during the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700-3500 BCE. These earthworks reflect the communal practices and social organisation of early farming communities in southern Britain, serving functions related to stock management, ritual activity, and seasonal gathering. The site survives as a cropmark and earthwork remains, preserving evidence of this significant period in British prehistory.
