Full Description
The ditch of this part of Kidmans Dyke was visible as a shallow earthwork. Planning consent was conditional on the site of the ditch being left as a public open space. Unfortanately, the contractors dumped large quantities of soil over the ditch obscuring it. A machine trench was dug into the top of the ditch fill, which was c.8m wide, under the supervision of Nick Smith to establish its position.<2>
