About

Hello and welcome. I'm Paul Whitewick, I seem to have developed a passion for making short films about the Landscape here in Britain. My passion for abandoned Railways and Canals soon spilled over into Roman Roads, ancient trackways and countless stories I can tell as I walk the Landscape. I have a degree in Environmental Science, but thats about it, other than a pair of decent walking shoes! I am a wannabee archaeologist who loves telling the stories I learn about week on week. So if thats your thing, click subscribe and I'll see you in the next video.

Video Description

For a short while now I have been aware of a significant bank and ditch cutting through a significant part of the landscape. It cuts through a Roman Road, so I wondered if anyone knows anything about it. Has anyone dug here, can we learn more about it on site. Turns out this could well be one of the most important features in southern Britain. Why ever are we not talking about this more?
