Abstract:		 Former theories about the earthwork which runs from Mongewell Park to the Chiltern crest are considered. It has previously been seen in conjunction with, variously, the Streatley earthworks, the Chiltern Grim's Ditch, the Pinner Ditch and so on; but the straightness of the Mongewell Park dyke, its structure and right-angled salients are best compared with the Colchester and Chichester dykes of the century before the Roman Conquest. It also shares many features with the Chiltern Grim's Ditches for which Dyer argued an Iron Age date. Both these systems are boundary earthworks; they suggest a pattern of settlement distinct from that of the hillforts, one which exploited heavy rather than light soils, and they may in fact reflect a small-scale immigration associated with the A and B waves of the incoming Gallo-Belgic coinage. The "anomalous" hillfort of Cholesbury, on clay near the Tring Ditch with defences paralleled at Wheathampstead and with pre-Belgic pottery, would repay study in this context. See also author's paper Chichester Dykes: a dissenting judgement, in Sussex Archaeol Collect, 107, 1969, 137-40.
