The Rampart of an Iron Age defended settlement 410m south west of Mount Scylla Farm is a prehistoric earthwork located in Wiltshire, England. The monument consists of defensive rampart construction characteristic of Iron Age settlement fortification in southern Britain, dating to the period roughly between the eighth and first centuries before the Common Era. The earthwork represents evidence of communal labour and organised settlement planning typical of later prehistoric communities in the region. The site's defensive character indicates a settlement of some significance during the Iron Age period, though the exact extent and internal arrangement of the defended area requires further archaeological investigation to establish with certainty.
