- Period (Currency): Long lived. The tradition of building and using Ram's Hill enclosures appears from present evidence to have spanned the Bronze Age, although not all sites in this class appear to be extant for this entire sequence.
- Rarity: Very rare. Less than ten examples are known, although it is likely that further fieldwork and aerial survey will add to this number.
- Diversity (Form): Medium. Given the restricted size of the sample, assessments of diversity are problematic. Here it is suggested that on morphological grounds, three types can be identified.
- Period (Representativity): Very high. Ram's Hill enclosures are one of very few monument classes known for the early and middle Bronze Age. They also include most of the main kinds of artefactual and ecofactual evidence of the period.
Assigning scores to these criteria following the scheme set out in the Monuments Evaluation Manual, Ram's Hill enclosures yield a class importance value of 56. This places the class towards the top end of the range of possible values (max=64), emphasising the rarity, long currency and representativity of the class.
