Abstract:
Numerous "interrupted ditch systems" discovered as cropmark sites almost certainly belong to the Neolithic causewayed enclosure type (which itself shows four sub-classes). Magnetometer survey and excavation at Briar Hill, Northampton bear this out. The 16 new cropmark sites greatly extend the distribution of causewayed camps, and alter the earlier view that such camps influenced the siting of the later henges. See also report on Sarup, a Danish causewayed enclosure, in Kuml, 1973-4, 109-19, pls, figs, refs.
