Boundary earthwork east of Church Hill is a linear earthwork located in Wiltshire, England. The monument consists of a bank and ditch construction characteristic of boundary demarcation features, though its precise dating and original function remain subjects of archaeological study. Such earthworks in the Wiltshire landscape often relate to territorial divisions established during the Iron Age or early medieval periods, serving to define land holdings and control movement across the countryside. The survival of this feature as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates its historical significance as evidence of past land organisation and settlement patterns in the region.
