A '''tor enclosure''' is a type of prehistoric monument found in the southwestern part of [[Great Britain]]. These monuments emerged around 4000&nbsp;BCE in the early [[Neolithic]].

Tor enclosures are large enclosures situated near natural rock outcrops, especially [[tor (rock)|tor]]s, 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 the [[causewayed enclosure]]s found elsewhere in the [[British Isles]] and many are of similar [[Neolithic]] date although others are from later in prehistory.
