Three quadrangular earthworks on Banstead Heath is a complex of four roughly rectangular enclosures formed by banks and ditches, located on the heathland of Banstead in Surrey. The earthworks are of uncertain date but are considered prehistoric or early historic in origin, possibly representing settlement or ritual sites from the Iron Age or Romano-British period. The monuments survive as substantial linear banks with associated ditches that define the quadrangular shapes, though their archaeological significance and precise chronology remain to be fully established through systematic investigation. The site forms part of the broader archaeological landscape of Banstead Heath, an area that has yielded evidence of human activity across multiple prehistoric periods.
