North Herefordshire Rowe Ditch is a linear earthwork located in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of a ditch and associated bank that runs across the landscape, typical of defensive or boundary features constructed during the Iron Age or Romano-British period. Such linear earthworks in this region often served as territorial boundaries, stock enclosures, or defensive barriers marking the limits of settlement areas or tribal lands. The precise dating and original function of this particular example would require archaeological investigation, though its preservation as a scheduled monument reflects its significance to understanding the settlement patterns and land use of ancient Herefordshire.
