The Rampart of an Iron Age defended settlement 410m south west of Mount Scylla Farm is a substantial earthwork forming part of a prehistoric fortified enclosure in Wiltshire. The monument dates to the Iron Age period and represents the defensive boundary of a settlement, constructed as a ditch and bank system characteristic of such defended sites. The rampart survives as an identifiable landscape feature, preserving evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive architecture in the region.
