Rockhill Earthwork is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in Shropshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch formation that reflects patterns of land division and territorial demarcation characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age communities in the English Midlands. Its precise dating and original extent remain subjects of archaeological study, though the earthwork's scale and construction suggest investment by a settled population with organised labour resources. The site contributes to understanding of prehistoric landscape management and settlement hierarchy in the region.
