Perrott's Brook dykes is a linear earthwork monument located in Gloucestershire. The dykes represent a defensive or boundary structure, typical of Iron Age or Romano-British fortification systems found across the English countryside. The monument consists of parallel banks and ditches that would have served to control movement or demarcate territorial divisions during antiquity. Such linear earthworks remain significant archaeological features for understanding settlement patterns and land use in the prehistoric and Roman periods of the region.
