A henge, four Bronze Age barrows and part of a Roman road 500m south west of Fox Covert is a complex of prehistoric and Roman-period monuments located in Wiltshire. The site comprises a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age henge earthwork, alongside four Bronze Age barrows representing funerary practices of the second millennium BCE. A segment of a Roman road, likely forming part of the regional communication network, traverses the same area, indicating continued use of the landscape through the Romano-British period. The monument complex thus demonstrates successive phases of activity across a substantial timespan, from the third or second millennium BCE through the Roman period.
