“…South Dyke extended along the limestone scarp edge of Woodhouse Moor, south of Cock Beck. Again it was originally interpreted in military terms (Alcock, 1954;Crawford, 1935;Faull, 1981), but excavated sections have shown that the ditch was no deeper than 1.5 m. Along with Becca Banks to the north, it followed the natural contours of the terrain, forming a 'funnel', perhaps directing or controlling movement from the east to the west (Wheelhouse & Burgess, 2001: 148). Related earthworks may have existed at Castle Hill further to the east.…”

Several regions in Britain saw the construction of large, linear earthworks of banks and ditches during the later Bronze Age and in the Iron Age, often extending for many kilometres. In the light of recent theoretical discussions of materiality and relational agency within archaeology and other social sciences, and through an avowedly discursive poetics of place, examples of these earthworks are re-assessed as actants, capable of affecting and directing the lives of people, animals, and plants. These linear earthworks were not static monuments, but were active assemblages or meshworks of materiality, movement, and memory.

The river Camel in north Cornwall has interested Arthurian scholars thanks to its supposed links with Arthur's last battle of Camlan. On this a study of comment from the sixteenth century onwards reveals growing skepticism; many now conclude that, even if a battle was fought at Camlan in 537, gaining a permanent place in Welsh tradition, there are no historical grounds to associate it with Arthur.
