Bicton Ditches is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in Shropshire. The monument comprises a series of defensive ditches and banks that date to the Iron Age, representing a significant example of the field systems and territorial boundaries that characterised settlement patterns in the West Midlands during this period. The earthwork survives as a substantial physical feature in the landscape, though like many such monuments it has been subject to modification and damage over the centuries. The site's preservation and recorded status underscore its importance for understanding Iron Age land organisation and social structures in the region.
