The western of two rectangular enclosures on Great Litchfield Down is an Iron Age monument located in Hampshire, south-southwest of Ladle Hill. The enclosure is defined by substantial earthwork banks and ditches that form a rectangular plan, characteristic of settlement or stock management structures from the later prehistoric period. Its relationship to the adjacent eastern enclosure and other nearby Iron Age features suggests these were functionally linked components within a broader landscape of settlement activity. The monument survives as a notable archaeological feature demonstrating the pattern of enclosed land use common to Hampshire's Iron Age communities.
