Walldown enclosures is a Neolithic monument complex located in Hampshire, England. The site comprises multiple enclosures defined by ditches and banks, characteristic of causewayed camp architecture from the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3500 BCE. Such enclosures are thought to have served ceremonial, communal, or defensive functions, though their precise purpose remains debated among archaeologists. The monument survives as earthwork remains and represents an important example of early Neolithic settlement and gathering activity in southern England.
