Ator enclosure is a prehistoric monument found in the southwestern part ofGreat Britain. These monuments emerged around 4000 BCE in the earlyNeolithic.
Tor enclosures are large enclosures situated near natural rock outcrops, especiallytors, on hilltops or the sides of hills. They consist of one or more roughly circular stone walls built around the tor. They are comparable to thecausewayed enclosures found elsewhere in the British Isles and many are of similarNeolithic date although others are from later in prehistory.
