Twyford Down is a scheduled ancient monument in Hampshire containing Romano-British enclosures and later hollow ways. The site preserves evidence of settlement and land use spanning the Roman period through the medieval and early modern centuries. The Romano-British enclosures represent agricultural or residential activity characteristic of the rural Romano-British landscape in southern England, whilst the hollow ways document the cumulative impact of centuries of traffic along established routes across the downland. The monument's survival demonstrates the palimpsest of land use and movement patterns that accumulated across the Hampshire landscape from the Roman period onwards.
