The Grange is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located in Hampshire, England. The monument consists of a series of interrupted ditches forming a roughly circular or oval arrangement, characteristic of causewayed enclosures from the early Neolithic period, dating to approximately 3700–3500 BCE. Such enclosures are considered among the earliest monumental constructions in Britain and are thought to have served ritual, ceremonial, or defensive purposes, though their precise function remains debated amongst archaeologists. The Grange represents an important example of this monument type in the Hampshire landscape and contributes to understanding early Neolithic settlement patterns and communal practices in southern England.
