MenuWansdyke, Somerset
Wansdyke is a series of early mediæval defensive linear earthworks stretching from Maes Knoll, Somerset to Savernake Forest, Wiltshire. Wansdyke is often considered to date from the Early Mediæval period, though some consider it to have been an extension and repurposing of a prehistoric earthwork. There are two main parts: an eastern dyke which runs between Savernake Forest, West Woods and Morgan's Hill in Wiltshire, and a western dyke which runs from Monkton Combe to the ancient hill fort of Maes Knoll in Somerset. The western section of Wansdyke is less substantial than its eastern counterpart. This section of the monument is within the council area of Bath and North East Somerset.
