Earthwork 80 yards (70 metres) long northwest of Coombe Bottom is a linear earthwork of probable Iron Age date located in Dorset. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch alignment that survives as an upstanding feature in the landscape. Such linear earthworks in this region are typically interpreted as territorial boundaries, stock control mechanisms, or defensive features associated with Iron Age settlement patterns and land division. The precise function and chronology of this particular earthwork would require archaeological investigation to establish with certainty, though its morphology is consistent with other contemporary linear features found throughout southern England.
