Earthworks

This is more a miscellaneous gathering of ancient sites whose exact provenance remains ‘unknown’, mainly due to a lack of archaeological excavation. In the arena of earthworks we tend to find unclassified settlements, henges, dykes – even hillforts & remains from medieval period. In the event that a site in this section becomes recognized as something specific, let us know & we’ll change it and pop it where it belongs!
