For a short while now I have been aware of a significant bank and ditch cutting through a significant part of the landscape. It cuts through a Roman Road, so I wondered if anyone knows anything about it. Has anyone dug here, can we learn more about it on site. Turns out this could well be one of the most important features in southern Britain. Why ever are we not talking about this more?

Welcome to this weeks video, the Story of Wansdyke. This week we take a deep dive into the Wansdyke, a wall, a border, or.... who knows. It spans across a large section south Britain. until recently much of what we know about it was through various antiquarians. But now we have, thanks to Dr Alex langlands, an approximate date that will allow us to piece together this mystery.The WALL that Divided Britain | 20:52Paul Whitewick | 147K subscribers | 34,630 views | December 8, 2024

[Fosse Way] This is a theory that I have seen numerous times now, so why not delve deeper. I really try to avoid presenting theories that are my own, I am no academic and absolutely don't want to fly in the face of archaeology or scientific process in any way. What I try to do is question theories presented that seem long held and have no scientific or academic basis, in this case the website rural-roads (link below), wiki and Tacitus himself, that all suggested this was some kind of border, or ditch or wall.

Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles.The history books state it was built for ceremonial purposes, but they forget to take into account the geological data. If they did, they would...
