Talk:Fleam Dyke

Fen Ditton?
The text says

"'The dyke consists of a massive bank and ditch running 4 miles between Fulbourn and Balsham. Fen Ditton, or High Ditch is the western part of Fleam Dyke near Cambridge.'"

Fen Ditton is a good three miles northwest of Fulbourn and quite some distance from the existing section of the Dyke, so this paragraph is confusing; does it mean that the dyke was originally longer than the four mile section which remains today, or was the section in Fen Ditton part of a different earthworks, or does the text refer to a different Fen Ditton? I assume it's the first explaination, but I don't want to change the article myself as I'm far from an expert. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 13:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the Malim (1997) publication, the Fen Ditton earthwork, also known as Fleam Dyke, is part of the same defensive complex if not necessarily joined up, as the intervening marshy fen would suffice as a barrier. This is now implemented in the article. Thank you for your patience. 2A00:23C6:549D:C301:241E:7675:ECA5:867C (talk) 06:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Addition to Bronze Age Sites in Cambs list
Seems someone added the dyke to the wikipedia list of Bronze Age Sites in Cambridgeshire. Not sure why as it doesnt seem to be anywhere near that old — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.253.110.120 (talk) 14:52, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It isn't in itself, but runs through the Mutlow Hill Bronze Age barrow, and this article may be our only mention of the barrow, so maybe it is fair enough? DBaK (talk) 23:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
