The Andyke, Hampshire

The Andyke is an ancient earthwork near Bransbury, Hampshire. The earthwork, over 1,700ft in length, cuts off a low peninsula between the valleys of the River Test and the River Dever. A single break in the earthwork, north of its mid point, may mark the position of an entrance designed to provide access to the area of the peninsula defined by it. The precise age and function of the earthwork is not known, though it is referred to in an Anglo-Saxon charter. It is within the council area of Test Valley (Hampshire).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1015678.
