Earthworks in Henley Wood is a prehistoric monument comprising a series of linear earthworks located in Surrey. The site consists of banks and ditches whose exact chronology and function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though such features are commonly associated with Iron Age or earlier periods of settlement and territorial organization. The earthworks represent evidence of ancient land use and possibly served defensive, ceremonial, or boundary-marking purposes characteristic of prehistoric communities in the region. The monument's survival within woodland demonstrates the value of forested areas in preserving archaeological deposits and landscape features from later disturbance.
