Two enclosures on South Common is an ancient monument consisting of two adjoining rectangular earthwork enclosures located on South Common in Devon. The monument dates to the Iron Age and represents settlement or land management activity from this period. The enclosures are defined by surviving banks and ditches that delineate their boundaries, though their precise function—whether for settlement, stock management, or ritual purposes—remains uncertain. As an Iron Age field system or settlement complex, the site contributes to understanding of prehistoric land use patterns in Devon during the first millennium before Christ.
