Two earthwork enclosures and a linear earthwork 625m north of Barbury Castle

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Two earthwork enclosures and a long linear ridge stand 625m north of Barbury Castle in Swindon, England. They are recorded as a scheduled monument, meaning the state recognises their ancient shape and protects them from casual destruction. The earthworks may have marked territory, guided ritual movement or excluded unwanted people. They still draw attention because they remain visible on the land.
The National Heritage List for England records Two earthwork enclosures and a linear earthwork 625m north of Barbury Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
