Scrubditch Dyke is a linear earthwork located in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch arrangement typical of early medieval defensive or territorial boundaries, though its precise dating and function remain subjects of archaeological study. Such dykes in the region have been associated with Anglo-Saxon period land division and frontier demarcation, particularly in areas of strategic importance. The physical remains survive as an upstanding earthwork feature that contributes to understanding the landscape organisation and settlement patterns of early medieval Gloucestershire.
