The Devil's Quoits is a Neolithic henge monument located near Wallingford in Oxfordshire. The site comprises a roughly circular earthwork with an internal ditch and external bank, typical of henge construction from the third millennium BCE. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of ritual activity consistent with Neolithic ceremonial practice, including finds that suggest the monument served as a gathering place for communities in the Upper Thames Valley. The monument's preservation, though subject to some degradation over the centuries, remains sufficient to demonstrate the scale and significance of this prehistoric ritual centre.
