Enclosure and boundary earthwork west of Scraggy Copse is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire comprising defensive or demarcation earthworks of uncertain but ancient date. The site consists of linear boundary features and an enclosed area, though the precise chronology and function remain to be fully established by systematic investigation. Such earthworks are characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in the Wessex region, where communities utilised banks and ditches to define territorial or domestic space. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the archaeological potential of this landscape for understanding prehistoric land use and settlement organisation.
