Earth Burgh is a prehistoric earthwork situated northwest of New Town Farm in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a substantial univallate enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age defensive or ceremonial structures of southern England. Its precise dating and original function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though its morphology suggests construction during the later prehistoric period. The site represents an important example of the earthwork fortifications that dot the Wiltshire landscape and contribute to understanding settlement patterns and land use in pre-Roman Britain.
