Old man's beard on Fleam Dyke
A view against strong sunlight on a fine Boxing Day morning.
Fleam Dyke is a defensive earthwork built over a period of 150 years from the 5th to the 7th centuries, extending 5km across open chalk land from the edge of the (then undrained) fens at Fulbourn to forested land near Balsham. It is one of four similar earthworks in the area, the longest being the Devil’s Dyke a few kilometres to the north.
