Two overlapping enclosures on the western edge of the River Walkham is a prehistoric monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises two circular or sub-circular earthwork enclosures whose overlapping layout suggests construction or modification across different periods of prehistoric activity. The monument lies adjacent to the River Walkham, a location that would have offered access to water resources and valley-floor settlement opportunities during antiquity. The precise dating and functional purpose of the enclosures remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though their form is consistent with prehistoric ceremonial, defensive, or settlement-related earthworks common to southwest England.
