Hob Ditch Earthworks is a linear defensive earthwork located in Warwickshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial ditch with associated banks, characteristic of Iron Age defensive systems constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such linear earthworks served territorial and defensive functions, controlling movement across the landscape and protecting settlements or communities from external threat. The precise dating and original extent of Hob Ditch remain subjects of archaeological study, though its form and construction are consistent with Iron Age fortification practices in the Midlands region.
