The site of an oval Neolithic causewayed enclosure on the south-eastern, or Stepleton, spur of Hambledon Hill. The remaining arc can be seen to the centre right. Part of a complex of Neolithic monuments which occupy all three spurs of the hill. Surveyed by RCHME in 1996. The remains of the Stepleton enclosure were recorded during an earlier survey in 1959 and completely excavated during Roger Mercer's 1974-86 excavation, having already been severely damaged by modern ploughing. Mercer's excavations confirmed the causewayed nature and Neolithic date of the enclosure.
