Causewayed_ring_ditch
A causewayed ring ditch is a type of prehistoric monument.
 |
It comprises a roughly circular ditch, segmented by several causeways which cross it. Within the ditch is a central area used for inhumations and cremations, usually covered beneath a barrow. They are considerable smaller than the causewayed enclosures they resemble.
In the British Isles they date to the Neolithic period.
