Boundary earthwork across the Bulford Ranges is a linear earthwork situated on the chalk downland of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a ditch with associated bank, running across the landscape in a manner characteristic of prehistoric boundary systems, though the precise dating remains uncertain without definitive archaeological evidence. Such linear earthworks across the Ranges reflect patterns of land division and territorial demarcation that were significant during the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, when organised land management became increasingly important on the downlands. The earthwork's survival as an upstanding feature demonstrates the historical importance of boundary maintenance across this intensively used prehistoric landscape.
