Two enclosures on Winterbourne Down is a Neolithic monument located in Wiltshire. The site consists of two distinct enclosure structures dating to the Neolithic period, representing evidence of early settlement and land use in the Wessex region. The enclosures are defined by banks and ditches, characteristic of Neolithic causewayed or non-causewayed enclosure types that served purposes ranging from ceremonial gathering to stock management and habitation. This monument contributes to understanding Neolithic territorial organisation and settlement patterns in the chalk downlands of central southern England.
