Grey Ditch

Grey Ditch
A blast from the past (but which may become more relevant again in future). Looking south(ish) towards Bradwell from the Hope Valley in Derbyshire. The dark age earthwork Grey Ditch runs across the valley from the left-hand skyline, down across the lower slopes and across the line of the Roman road towards Mich Low on the right hand edge of this view (and probably continuing to cut off the hill saddle just behind). Spent a lot of time in these fields recording the earthwork in detail with EDM (in another life). If I can find the files somewhere, I'll post a comparison (this is from Environment Agency 2m-centred lidar, so the effort with the EDM isn't wasted, yet!).
