Rectangular earthwork in Shingleton Wood is a linear archaeological feature situated in Kent, England. The monument comprises an approximately rectangular arrangement of banks and ditches whose origins and precise dating remain matters of archaeological enquiry. Such earthworks in woodland settings of south-eastern England may relate to various periods from prehistory through the medieval period, though without excavation or detailed survey their chronological placement and functional purpose cannot be definitively established. The feature survives as an earthwork within the woodland landscape, where it represents part of the archaeological record of land use and management in the Kentish countryside.
