This ancient earthwork lies on the Hampshire/Dorset Border, on the western edge of Martin Down. Estimates put the ditch's creation in the Bronze or Early Iron Age after which it was cut by the Romans to create one of their typically straight roads. Today, the ditch still forms part of the county border and offers plenty of wonderful hiking trails with vibrant wildlife.
