The rampart S of Haynes Green is a prehistoric earthwork located in Essex, England. The monument consists of a linear defensive bank that forms part of a wider system of fortifications in the area, dating to the Iron Age period. The rampart survives as an upstanding earthwork, though its precise original dimensions and the full extent of the associated fortification complex have been subject to archaeological study and topographic survey. As with many Iron Age linear earthworks in Essex, it likely served defensive or territorial boundary functions for the communities inhabiting the region during the late prehistoric period.
