Britain’s Linear Earthworks (Dykes) Gazetteer
Due to a technical problem the point and pick facility has been temporarily suspended………… back soon!! (Britain’s Linear Earthworks (Dykes) Gazetteer)
Please select from Gazetteer listing below.
Our research to date has shown that ALL Linear Earthworks (Dykes) are connect to Paleochannels and in most cases supported by building on and around natural Springs to obtain a water supply to support boat transport in the prehistoric periods – which were used at a later date by both Romans and Medieval (Saxon) cultures (hence the confusion in the naming of these features and excavation finds), but clearly by their distribution throughout the country (including the islands of Scotland and Scilly) were not originally constructed as boundary or defensive features – but may have been used by later cultures for such functions..
Over the course of this year we will add our detailed research on Earthworks (Dykes) with over 1500 additional sites showing for the first time all details from Scheduled Monument Report to Excavation details with Dimensions and Dates of these sites. This will be further enhanced by the addition of GE maps, Historic 1800 OS Maps and LiDAR maps and VIDEO’s showing in details the Dyke and how it look at the time of construction – all proving that POST-GLACIAL FLOODING occurred in the Mesolithic and Neolithic period of Britain’s History and rivers were still way higher than today even in the Bronze Age.

This site also includes extracts and articles from the Robert John Langdon Trilogy about Britain in the Prehistoric period, including titles such as The Stonehenge Enigma, Dawn of the Lost Civilisation and the ultimate proof of Post Glacial Flooding and the landscape we see today.
Robert John Langdon has also created a YouTube web channel with over 100 investigations and video documentaries to support his classic trilogy (Prehistoric Britain). He has also released a collection of strange coincidences that he calls ‘13 Things that Don’t Make Sense in History’ and his recent discovery of a lost Stone Avenue at Avebury in Wiltshire called ‘Silbury Avenue – the Lost Stone Avenue’.
Langdon has also produced a series of ‘shorts’, which are extracts from his main body of books:
