Earthwork 80 yards (70 metres) long north-west of Coombe Bottom is a linear defensive or boundary work of prehistoric or Romano-British date located in Dorset. The monument survives as an earthen bank and ditch formation aligned broadly north-west to south-east across the landscape. Its precise function and dating require further archaeological investigation, though such linear earthworks in this region commonly served as territorial boundaries, stock enclosures, or defensive barriers during the late prehistoric and Romano-British periods. The site remains on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1002734.
