This looks like a rather shallow trail or man made ditch. Did this start out as something quite deep and perhaps filled with water? Otherwise, I’m surprised natural erosion has not smoothed out and reclaimed this dug out fissure in the terrain. Every place else is as smooth as a golf course.

I’m not gonna try it. It looks like I might get some, um, esoteric sites...

There are other pics that make the scale of the thing more obvious. It’s longer than Hadrian’s Wall by a few miles. There’s a ten mile long earthwork that antedates the Romans, but called the Roman Ridge, so they didn’t get the idea from the Romans. Speaking of Hadrian’s Wall, I’ll go out on a limb again and say that it was the northern boundary of Aurelius’ kingdom.

I guess the ancient Welsh were homophobic and fled at the first sight of a Dyke.
To: House Atreides

although you'd never know it if you read the idiotic quotes I cut out for lengthYou mean like saying it was built to protect the Kingdom of Mercia, which their work apparently disproves?
