City rampart E of Council House is a scheduled ancient monument forming part of the defensive fortifications of Old Sarum, the Iron Age hillfort and medieval administrative centre situated near Salisbury in Wiltshire. The rampart constitutes one of the multiple concentric earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, constructed to enclose and protect the settlement. Its precise dating and construction phases reflect the complex occupation history of Old Sarum, which saw successive periods of Iron Age use followed by Roman, Saxon, and medieval reoccupation. The earthwork survives as an upstanding linear feature forming part of the scheduled monument complex that preserves the archaeological evidence of this significant multi-period fortified site.
