Much archaeological work is concerned with identifying gaps in our
knowledge and developing strategies for addressing them; we perhaps
spend less time thinking about how research should proceed when we
already know, relatively speaking, quite a lot. The programme of
dating causewayed enclosures in southern Britain that was published
in 2011 as Gathering Time (Oxbow Books) gave us a new, more precise
chronology for many individual sites as well as for enclosures as a
whole, and as a consequence a far better sense of their
significance and place in the story of the British Early Neolithic.
Arguably, causewayed enclosures are now the best understood type of
Neolithic monument. Yet work continues, and in the last few years
new discoveries have been made, older excavations published and
further work undertaken on well-known sites. Viewing this research
within the new framework for these monuments allows us to assess
where our understanding of enclosures has got to and where the
focus of future research should lie. This volume originates from a
Neolithic Studies Group meeting held in November 2019, which aimed
firstly to showcase and explore the wide range of current work on
causewayed enclosures and related sites, and secondly to assess
what we still want to know about these sites in light of the
monumental achievement of Gathering Time. The papers collected
here comprise reports on recent development-led fieldwork, academic
research and community projects, and the volume concludes with a
reflection by the authors of Gathering Time.
