Three of the Priddy Circles is a Neolithic henge monument located approximately 400 metres west of Castle Farm near Priddy in Somerset. The site comprises three circular earthworks, each defined by a substantial bank and ditch, and dates to the Neolithic period, likely between 3000 and 2500 BC. Associated with the henge complex is a barrow, a burial mound characteristic of prehistoric funerary practice, which lies within the wider ceremonial landscape. These monuments represent important evidence of communal gathering and ritual activity during the Neolithic, and their survival in the Mendip uplands demonstrates the persistence of these earthwork structures across millennia.
