Misc. Earthwork in Wiltshire
From Pastscape:
"Linear earthwork, comprising for a substantial part of its course a ditch or hollow way between two banks. Its precise relationship with immediately adjacent areas of "Celtic" fields is currently unclear, though it is presumed to be of later Prehistoric or Roman date. It has been identified as the "dyke south of Aethelferth's stone" mentioned in a charter of AD 939."
