Earthwork enclosure on Allington Down is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises an enclosure defined by a ditch and bank system characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns, though the precise dating and function of this particular example require reference to specialist archaeological assessment. The earthwork survives as an upstanding archaeological feature on the Wiltshire landscape, representing the settlement and land management practices of ancient communities in southern Britain. Like many such enclosures in the region, it contributes to the archaeological record of Iron Age land use and territorial organisation across Salisbury Plain and the surrounding chalk downlands.
