Winkelbury Hill is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located in Wiltshire, England. The monument comprises concentric rings of interrupted ditches and banks characteristic of causewayed enclosures, a category of Neolithic monument common in southern Britain dating to approximately 3700–3000 BCE. The earthwork sits on elevated ground and would have served communal functions during the early Neolithic period, likely used for seasonal gatherings, stock management, or ceremonial purposes. The site remains visible as earthwork remains and provides archaeological evidence of Neolithic settlement and social organisation in the Wessex region.
