The field system and earthwork enclosure on Burderop Down is a prehistoric and Romano-British archaeological monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises linear earthworks and field divisions that represent patterns of land organisation extending across the downland, with evidence suggesting occupation and agricultural use spanning the Iron Age into the Roman period. The earthwork enclosure forms part of a broader landscape of settlement and cultivation typical of the later prehistoric period in the Wessex chalklands. The monument's survival as surface earthworks provides important archaeological evidence for understanding past agricultural practices and territorial organisation in this region of southern England.
