Two earthwork enclosures and a linear earthwork 625m north of Barbury Castle is a Neolithic monument complex located in Wiltshire, situated to the north of the Iron Age hillfort of Barbury Castle itself. The site comprises two separate enclosures defined by substantial earthwork banks and ditches, together with an associated linear earthwork, representing evidence of Neolithic settlement and land management practices. The earthworks survive as visible relief features in the landscape, indicating the scale and sophistication of Neolithic engineering and territorial organisation in this part of Wessex during the fourth and third millennia BC. The monument lies within a landscape rich in prehistoric archaeology, forming part of the complex settlement pattern that characterises the Marlborough Downs region.
