Four lynchets 610m west of Kingston Dairy is a group of agricultural earthworks located in Wiltshire. Lynchets are terraced strips formed through long-continued ploughing on sloping ground, with soil accumulating at the lower edge of each ploughed strip to create visible steps across the hillside. This monument dates to the medieval period, representing evidence of intensive arable farming practices that characterised medieval land use in southern England. The four distinct lynchets visible at this location demonstrate the systematic cultivation of marginal upland terrain during the medieval centuries.
