Boundary feature 700m south-west of The Plantation, West Lavington Down, is a linear earthwork of probable prehistoric date located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The monument consists of a ditch and bank system that would have functioned as a territorial or administrative boundary, typical of the Bronze Age or Iron Age periods when such divisions of landscape became increasingly common across southern England. The feature's precise archaeological character and chronology require further investigation, though its registration as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its significance as evidence of early land organisation and settlement patterns in the region.
