Linear 'dyke', Hillmorton
Description of this historic site
A curving linear 'dyke' runs for about 40m and is c.4m wide and up to 1m high. The ridge and furrow earthworks apparently respect it, but it does not seem to make sense as a ploughing 'headland' since it is in the middle of an historic field rather than at the side.
Can you help?
