More questions than answers
Jan 06, 2003, 20:34
Two things strike me here.
1. There may be a connection with these earthworks and the dyke systems a few miles north on the margins of the NYM e.g. scamridge and the lesser dykes (of which there were many stretching from Scarbro' to Sutton Bank) and that the vale of Pickering was a lake and then a series of Carrs then this area was part of the habitable higher ground. Given the fondness for building earthworks displayed by the tribes a few miles north could this not be more of the same?
2. Does Rhiannons posting on "cattle ranching in the north" have any bearing here?
Just a couple of thoughts
p.s. enjoyed your thornbro' posts Chris
