Earthwork enclosure in Great Ridge Wood, 350m north east of Point Pond, is a prehistoric monument situated in Wiltshire. The enclosure consists of a substantial bank and ditch earthwork that encloses an irregular area of land, representing a form of settlement or territorial demarcation typical of the Bronze Age or Iron Age periods. The monument survives as a landscape feature within woodland, where the earthen banks remain visible despite the effects of time and natural vegetation growth. Such enclosures in this region generally reflect patterns of land use and community organisation during the later prehistoric period in southern England.
