    Rise Dikes, visible from the main track, and marked by the historic monument post. The dykes were linear ancient ditches, a part of a prehistoric boundary dividing areas between Troutsdale (west) and the Derwent Valley (east.) Obviously, they would've called them something else than Troutsdale and Derwent back then!
