More information : (ST 66730188 to ST 66810184) Ditch (NR) (1)
A bank extending for about 100 yards across the ridge-top; at
most 4 1/2ft high with a modern gap near the middle. There is a
slight ditch on the north side. (2)
A grass-covered earthwork consisting of a bank which averages
5.0m wide and 1.2m high, with a ditch on the north side which
averages 4.0m wide and 0.5m deep. The height of the bank and
the depth of the ditch vary considerably along its length. Not
defensive but of the cross-ridge type, possibly associated with
the dykes at the settlement to the north (ST 60 SE 28). (3)
This E-W cross-ridge dyke remains much as described. It
consists of an earthen bank, up to 1.1m high, with a ditch on
its northern side up to 0.8m deep. A modern N-S trackway
overlies the earthwork approx. midway along its length and a
second possibly earlier causewayed break lies 20.0m from the W
end.
