Two cross dykes 580m and 610m north east of Wood Farm is a prehistoric linear earthwork monument situated in Wiltshire. The dykes are characteristic defensive or territorial features dating to the Iron Age, consisting of banks and ditches that cut across the landscape to create barriers or boundaries. Such cross dykes were typically constructed to control movement along ridgeways or through valleys, and their positioning relative to Wood Farm suggests their role in the local settlement pattern of the period. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding Iron Age land division and defensive strategies in the Wiltshire downlands.
