Misc. Earthwork in Buckinghamshire

From Pastscape:

"Two probable cross ridge dykes identified at Ragpit, Chequers. Field investigations carried out in 1972 found one to be 60 metres long, and comprises a bank 6 metres wide and up to 1.3 metres high, a ditch 4 metres wide and up to 1 metre deep. The earthwork has been cut by chalk quarrying. The other earthwork is 140 metres in length with a bank 7 metres wide, up to 0.5 metres high and a ditch 5 metres wide and up to 1.2 metres deep. Both earthworks have been crossed by Medieval or later hollow ways and a woodland boundary bank. The earthworks were originally identified as an Iron Age hill fort. Iron Age pottery has been recovered from the area."
