Four earthwork enclosures on All Cannings Down is a group of prehistoric monuments situated on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The enclosures consist of ditched and banked earthworks that are characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns, though some elements may belong to earlier prehistoric periods. The site represents evidence of ancient land use and territorial organisation on the Wiltshire Downs, with the multiple enclosures suggesting sequential phases of occupation or the coexistence of distinct functional areas within the broader settlement complex.
