Woden Law
Linear Earthwork
NT 77115 12153
This site was recorded as part of the Kale Water Survey project and is largely as described in the 1956 inventory on the date of visit. This linear earthwork, at the bottom of the SE slope of Woden Law, runs from NE to SW across the neck of the slope and comprises three turf banks and two ditches. The central bank measures 93m in length from NT 77089 12119 to 77142 12196, that to the NE on the outer edge of the ditch can be traced for about 25m from NT 77127 12187 to NT 77141 12210. A further length of bank survives to the S of the central bank and measures 55m in length from NT 77098 12119 to NT 77128 12167.
Recent aerial photographs appear to show the earthwork continues on the N side of Dere Street for at least 50m from SW to NE.
