The double earth bank confuses me as well (but I’m easily confused anyway), a ditch, bank and wooden fence on the top I can understand and would make a fairly good stock enclosure, but why have another bank? What swung me in favour of the idea was the general dimensions in the ranching article but re-reading it, it says that these structures only exist as crop marks and obviously there’s lots of ‘our’ earthworks still littered around.

The non defensive boundary sounds pretty good though… are we talking Iron Age?

>Ideally I would like to try and isolate each different type of earthwork and colour them differently on a map depending on type, date, etc

Well good look with that one !! I wouldn’t mind going up and having another look myself, but as I couldn’t figure out what they were the first time round I’m not sure if theres much point ;-)
