Battlefields is a small settlement in Mashonaland West province, Zimbabwe, located off the main road from Harare to Bulawayo between Kadoma and Kwekwe. Its name was given not on account of any fighting at the site, but because many of the local mining claims and reefs were named after famous battles, such as Trafalgar and Tel el-Kebir. The settlement therefore records the habit of early prospectors of naming gold claims after military victories, and it lies in the mining belt that follows the central highway.
