Double ditched enclosure NE of Wick village is an Iron Age or Romano-British defensive earthwork situated in Worcestershire. The monument comprises two parallel ditches that define an enclosed area, a layout typical of settlement or stock-management practices during the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods. Such double-ditched enclosures served variously as homestead boundaries, cattle pounds, or defensive works, reflecting the agricultural and social organisation of communities in the region during this transitional period. The survival of the earthwork features indicates the site's archaeological significance for understanding settlement patterns and land use in Worcestershire during antiquity.
