Misc. Earthwork in Buckinghamshire
From Pastscape:
"Prehistoric multivallate cross dyke, oreintated north east to south west, extending for circa 140m between the upper slopes of the steep natural scarps on either side of the spur. The ditch averages 5m in width and 1.2m in depth, being flanked on western side by an earthen bank between 4m and 7m across and reaching a maximum height of 0.7m. The dyke is breached in two places. A hollow way, some 2m in depth, thought to be medieval, truncates the point some 30m from the northern end. A causeway 40m further south carries a modern road which runs parallel to the hollow wayThe eartworks are less clearly defined immediately either side of the road, probably due to spoil from the construction. Another cross dyke runs parallel to this one some 250m to thewest."
