The concept of "Enclosing the Neolithic" explores the monumental efforts by early human societies to define spaces during the Stone Age. This involved building a variety of structures, from defensive walls around nascent settlements to elaborate ritualistic henges, which served to delineate boundaries, protect communities, or signify sacred grounds, reflecting advanced communal organization and a profound connection to their environment.
