Site of an oval stone circle and part of an adjacent field system 700m SW of West Kennet long barrow is a Neolithic ritual monument complex located in Wiltshire. The oval stone circle represents evidence of ceremonial or ritual practice during the Neolithic period, whilst the associated field system demonstrates early agricultural land management strategies contemporary with or following the monument's construction. The site lies in close proximity to West Kennet long barrow, one of the largest Neolithic chambered tombs in southern England, suggesting this area held particular ritual and territorial significance during prehistory. The field system indicates sustained land use and agricultural development in this landscape during the Neolithic and possibly into the Bronze Age.
