HER 26250 DESCRIPTION:- Seven lengths of bank in vicinity of Offa's Dyke, St Briavels. 2003 - This area was mapped at 1:10,000 scale as part of the English Heritage: Gloucestershire NMP project. Seven lengths of bank in the vicinity of Offa's Dyke were seen on aerial photographs in St Briavels parish and were recorded by the NMP as forming part of Offa's Dyke. These banks do not follow the course of the dyke and therefore they probably did not form part of that monument. They may instead represent field boundaries. {Pers. Comm. J. Hoyle.} 2019 - Elements of this monument were previously recorded within the Historic England National Record of the Historic Environment. Additional information from that record, formerly held within the AMIE database, are quoted below and in associated record, HER 26250: Historic England UI - 1385658, NMR - SO 50 SW 46 "SO 5387 0366.
