A linear earthwork and two bowl barrows east of Bokerley Dyke on Blagdon Hill is a prehistoric and Romano-British monument complex located in Wiltshire. The site comprises a linear earthwork, likely of Late Iron Age or Romano-British date, and two Bronze Age bowl barrows positioned to the east of the well-known Bokerley Dyke. The linear earthwork represents defensive or territorial boundary work characteristic of the Romano-British period, whilst the bowl barrows indicate earlier Bronze Age funerary activity in the landscape. Together, these elements demonstrate the long continuity of land use and the layering of different archaeological periods across this upland zone of southern England.
