The Double ditched enclosure north of Oakeys is a prehistoric monument located in Worcestershire. The site comprises two parallel ditches forming an enclosed linear earthwork, a form characteristic of Iron Age defensive or territorial boundaries in the English Midlands. The monument's precise dating and function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though such double-ditch systems are typically associated with late prehistoric settlement hierarchies and land demarcation. The earthwork survives as an upstanding archaeological feature and represents an important record of Iron Age landscape organisation in the county.
