Roman Earthwork is a linear earthwork monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises substantial banks and ditches that represent Romano-British period engineering and land division, dating to the Roman occupation of Britain. The earthwork's precise function and chronology remain matters of archaeological interpretation, though such monuments typically served defensive, administrative, or boundary purposes during the Roman era. The site's preservation as an earthwork rather than a built structure reflects the landscape management practices characteristic of Roman provincial Britain.
