Vandring

A series of early medieval defensive linear earthworks consisting of a large bank and a deep ditch. The ditch generally faces north, suggesting it was built as a defence against invaders coming from the north.
Location:
The Wansdyke runs in an east-west direction through the West Country of England, stretching across parts of Wiltshire and Somerset.
Name Origin: Its name, Wansdyke, is thought to be derived from "Woden's Dyke", referring to the Anglo-Saxon god Woden.
