Double ditched enclosure NE of Wick village is a prehistoric earthwork located in Worcestershire, consisting of two parallel ditches that define an enclosed area. The monument dates to the Iron Age and represents a form of defensive or territorial boundary common to this period in the English Midlands. The earthwork survives as a series of linear features visible in the landscape, though like many such monuments it has been subject to degradation and agricultural activity over the centuries. Its specific function, whether primarily defensive, ritualistic, or administrative in character, remains a matter for archaeological interpretation.
