A section of a linear earthwork south west of Great Litchfield Down is a prehistoric defensive or boundary work located in Hampshire. The earthwork survives as a substantial linear bank and ditch system characteristic of Iron Age construction, representing either a territorial boundary or defensive installation associated with settlement patterns of that period. The monument's preservation allows examination of prehistoric land division and settlement organisation in the region, contributing to understanding of later prehistoric land use and social organisation in central southern England.
