Devils Dyke Hertfordshire.

Devils Dyke was a defensive ditch built by the Catuvellauni tribe who were a powerful tribe at the time when Caesar first explored these shores.. It was built to protect a large

fortified iron age settlement which would of stood on the left hand side facing.

It has been said that Julius Caesar and his army came here and defeated the British King Cassivellaunus in 54BC.This location is a short distance away from Wheathampstead Hertfordshire. The Dyke itself is an attractive peaceful walk now, a far cry from Caesars battle to take out local armed resistance
