This site is a Romano-British settlement comprising an earthwork enclosure and an adjacent section of the Fosse Way, located 415 metres west of Whatley Manor in Wiltshire. The settlement dates to the Roman period and represents evidence of civilian occupation and activity in proximity to one of Roman Britain's principal road networks. The earthwork enclosure survives as an archaeological feature, while the Fosse Way section demonstrates the landscape integration of this major military and commercial route through the Wiltshire countryside. The monument exemplifies the typical pattern of Romano-British rural settlement clustering along major Roman road corridors, which facilitated trade and communication across the province.
