The Erdwerk von Soest are the remains of a Neolithic earthwork in the city centre of Soest (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).
The earthwork measured 35-40 hectare and consists of at least five parallel section trenches. The older, smaller one was almost without finds, while the younger, approximately 8 m wide trench contained rich ceramic and silex finds. They helped to date the earthwork to the time of the Michelsberg culture (ca. 3900 BC).
