Monkey Marsh Lock is a lock structure on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Berkshire, England, dating from the canal's construction in the late eighteenth century. The lock represents the engineering infrastructure of the canal's development phase, which was undertaken to improve inland water transport and commercial connectivity between London and the West Country. As a component of the broader canal system, the lock demonstrates the technical standards and construction methods characteristic of late Georgian canal engineering. The site retains historical significance as part of the preserved Kennet and Avon Canal, which remains an important example of Britain's canal heritage.
