The Double ditched enclosure N of Oakeys is a prehistoric earthwork located in Worcestershire. The monument consists of two parallel ditches forming an enclosure, a characteristic defensive or demarcative feature of Iron Age settlement patterns in the English Midlands. The physical remains survive as earthwork banks and ditches visible in the landscape. Such enclosures typically functioned as livestock compounds or settlement boundaries during the Iron Age period, though the specific dating and function of this particular site would require archaeological investigation to establish with precision.
