The western of two linear earthworks north of West Woodyates Manor is a linear bank and ditch system located in Dorset. The monument is a prehistoric or Iron Age field system, characteristic of the agricultural organisation undertaken during the later prehistoric period in southern Britain. The earthwork survives as a substantial linear feature that formed part of the landscape management and land division practices of ancient communities in this region. Such systems reflect the increasing social complexity and territorial control evident in Dorset during the Iron Age and earlier periods.
