No attempts yet, so here's a clue: the image shows only a small stretch of what is quite an extensive feature.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting an Offa's Dyke (8th c. protecting Mercia from Powys) vibe, but can't locate this section on Google Earth.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Chuck - Offa's Dyke is correct. And yes, it is difficult to locate much of the earthwork on Google Earth (it is traceable for c. 80 miles on the ground). This particular stretch is c. 2.5 km NNW of the town of Knighton. I think you can surely be declared winner anyway as you identified the monument correctly.
ReplyDeleteYou two are incredible. I've never managed to get any of these yet! ...and I call myself an archaeologist... ;)

ReplyDeleteYou're right, of course.
