Devil's Ditch, Norfolk

Devil's Ditch is an ancient linear earthwork near Garboldisham, Norfolk. It runs from the Little Ouse northward to just south of East Harling. The southern part of the ditch forms the parish boundary between Garboldisham (east of the ditch) and Riddlesworth and Harling (west of the ditch). It is believed to an early Saxon boundary, though evidence has been found that it originated in the Iron Age. It is within the council area of Breckland (Norfolk).
