From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
