This monument is a linear earthwork and two bowl barrows situated on Blagdon Hill east of Bokerley Dyke in Wiltshire. The linear earthwork represents a significant prehistoric or Romano-British territorial boundary, whilst the two accompanying bowl barrows are Bronze Age burial mounds that demonstrate the long occupation and ritual use of this landscape. The monument complex illustrates the layering of different chronological periods across the chalk downland of central Wiltshire, with the barrows predating the earthwork by over a thousand years. Together these features constitute an important archaeological record of prehistoric and Romano-British land division and burial practice in the region.
