Contesto:
"Il complesso della Piramide a gradoni di Djoser costituisce un importante passo avanti nell'architettura funeraria regia. Questo re e il suo architteto, Imhotep, unirono i due elementi dei primi complessi dinastici, la tomba e il **recinto in valle,** in un complesso monumentale e sostituirono il mattone crudo e i materiali deperibili con la pietra.
It isn't clear to me whether the writer means "valley enclosure," or "downhill enclosure."
Grazie,
femme

downhill enclosure
They may mean "a valle"

funerary enclosure
In this context, funerary enclosure would be the one I'd go with.
