Linear earthwork on Tidcombe Down is a prehistoric linear boundary or trackway located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The earthwork consists of a bank and ditch formation that runs across the landscape, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age field systems and territorial divisions found throughout southern England. Such linear features typically served multiple functions, demarcating land holdings, controlling livestock movement, or marking significant territorial boundaries between communities. The monument remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric land use and settlement patterns in the Wiltshire chalk country.
