Three sections of a linear earthwork between Churchlane Copse and Early Bridge Copse, south of Silchester, is a fragmentary defensive or boundary work of Iron Age date. The earthwork survives as discontinuous banks and ditches aligned broadly north-south across the landscape south of the Roman settlement at Silchester, Hampshire. The surviving sections represent part of a larger linear system that likely functioned as either a territorial boundary or defensive line during the late prehistory of the region. The monument is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological significance to understanding the settlement patterns and landscape organisation of Iron Age Hampshire.
