Trendle earthwork is a prehistoric linear earthwork located northeast of Kelly College in Devon. The monument consists of a bank and ditch formation characteristic of Iron Age or possibly earlier Bronze Age defensive or territorial boundaries, though its precise dating remains uncertain without archaeological investigation. The earthwork survives as a landscape feature demonstrating the field systems and land division practices of ancient Devon communities. Such linear earthworks were commonly employed to demarcate territorial boundaries or to control movement of livestock and people across the landscape during the later prehistoric period.
