Enclosure and Romano-British settlement north-west of Imber is a scheduled archaeological monument comprising the remains of settlement activity from the Romano-British period located on the Wiltshire downs. The site consists of an enclosed area together with associated structural features characteristic of Romano-British rural occupation, representing the pattern of dispersed farmsteads and settlements that became widespread across the British landscape during the Roman period. The monument provides evidence of the continuity and development of settlement in this region during the first to fourth centuries, contributing to understanding of Romano-British agrarian and domestic organisation in the Wessex chalklands. The site remains archaeologically significant despite the absence of substantial standing remains, with its survival depending on the preservation of subsurface features and earthworks that retain the potential to yield further information about Romano-British life and land use in the area.
