Linear earthwork on Tidcombe Down is a prehistoric linear boundary or track monument situated on the Wiltshire downs. The earthwork survives as a substantial bank and ditch feature that reflects patterns of land division and territorial organisation during the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. Such linear monuments are characteristic of later prehistoric settlement landscapes, where they typically delineated land parcels, drove routes for livestock, or territorial boundaries between communities. The survival of the earthwork on Tidcombe Down contributes to understanding of prehistoric land use and social organisation across the Wiltshire chalk downlands.
