Two chalk military badges 380m and 550m west of Sheep Well is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two carved chalk figures located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The badges are military insignia cut into the chalk hillside, representing regimental or unit markers associated with training or garrisoning activities, likely dating from the twentieth century period of military use of the surrounding landscape. The monuments reflect the extensive military occupation and training use of Salisbury Plain and the surrounding Wiltshire downlands, particularly during and after the First World War. As chalk-cut figures on the open downland, they remain visible landscape features marking the historical presence of military units in this region.
