Dyke SE of Eggardon Hill camp is a linear earthwork situated southeast of the Iron Age hillfort at Eggardon Hill in Dorset. The dyke is understood to represent a territorial or defensive boundary, characteristic of Iron Age land division practices in southern Britain. Its precise relationship to the adjacent hillfort remains a matter of archaeological interpretation, though it likely functioned as part of a wider system of land management contemporary with or subsequent to the hillforts occupation. The earthwork survives as a substantial bank and ditch feature visible in the modern landscape.
