Wheathampstead: Devil's Dyke (1)
Devil's Dyke is a long earthwork, extending for about 420 metres, that runs down the western side of the site of the late Iron Age settlement known as Belgic Oppidum. The site had natural defences on the other three sides, and its centre was a natural high point, with the land falling away on all sides.
The Dyke itself is publicly accessible, although the rest of Belgic Oppidum is not. According to the stone plaques on the brick piers at the northern entrance it was "Presented by the Rt Hon Lord Brocket to commemorate the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in May 1937", and that the site is also said to be "where Julius Caesar defeated the British King Cassvellaunus in 54 BC."
The whole area of Belgic Oppidum is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Please see Image] and Image] for other views.
