The Carrion Tree Rack is a linear boundary monument recorded in the Wiltshire landscape near Park Cottage in Rushmore Park. The earthwork consists of a bank and ditch formation extending in multiple directions—south west, south, and north east from its reference point—and represents a field or territorial division of considerable antiquity. Such linear features in this region typically date to the Iron Age or Romano-British periods, though without excavation the precise chronology remains uncertain. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and forms part of the wider pattern of ancient field systems and boundaries that characterise the Wiltshire downs.
