Enclosure and linear earthworks between Bishopstrow Down and South Down Sleight is a prehistoric monument complex located in Wiltshire. The site comprises banks and ditches forming an enclosure and associated linear earthworks that date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. These earthworks represent settlement or land management practices characteristic of later prehistoric communities in the Salisbury Plain region. The monument's precise chronology and original function remain subjects of archaeological study, though the linear elements suggest either territorial boundaries or stock management features typical of Iron Age agricultural organisation.
