Old Pound Copse earthwork is a linear defensive structure located in Hampshire, England. The site comprises an earthen bank and ditch arrangement typical of Iron Age territorial or defensive works, dating to the pre-Roman period. Its precise function remains characteristic of such undated linear earthworks, which may have served variously as boundary markers, stock enclosures, or defensive barriers. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork within a woodland setting, preserving evidence of Iron Age or Romano-British period land use and settlement patterns in the Hampshire landscape.
