e/Wansdyke (earthwork)

Information
has gloss	eng: Wansdyke (from Woden's Dyke) is an early medieval boundary with a series of defensive linear earthworks in the West Country of England, consisting of a ditch and a running embankment from the ditch spoil. It runs at least from Maes Knoll in historic Somerset, a hillfort at the east end of Dundry Hill south of Bristol, to the Savernake Forest near Marlborough in Wiltshire. There is also some evidence that it extended west from Maes Knoll to the coast of the Severn Estuary but this is uncertain.
