Section of boundary earthwork north-west of Sidbury Hill is a linear defensive or demarcatory earthwork located in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a ditch and bank system characteristic of Iron Age territorial boundaries, dating to the pre-Roman period. Its precise function, whether serving primarily defensive or administrative purposes in controlling movement across the landscape, remains a subject of archaeological interpretation. The earthwork forms part of the wider pattern of linear works found across southern Britain during the Iron Age, reflecting the organised landscape management and territorial assertion of contemporary communities.
