Two square enclosures in Tenant's Bottom is an ancient monument comprising two roughly square ditched enclosures located in Dorset. The site dates to the Iron Age and represents a form of enclosed settlement or land division characteristic of that period in southern England. The enclosures are defined by ditch systems that would have served defensive, territorial, or organisational functions within the Iron Age landscape. Such square enclosures are relatively common in Dorset and reflect patterns of settlement and land use during the pre-Roman Iron Age, contributing to understanding of Iron Age society and settlement hierarchy in the region.
