Two cross dykes 580m and 610m north east of Wood Farm is an ancient monument comprising two linear defensive earthworks located in Wiltshire. The dykes date to the Iron Age and represent characteristic examples of cross-ridge fortifications, which functioned to control movement across the landscape and may have served territorial or defensive purposes. Each earthwork consists of a bank and ditch arrangement cutting across the natural topography of the chalk downland. These monuments form part of the wider pattern of Iron Age land division and fortification visible across the Wiltshire chalklands.
