Dead Woman's Ditch is an earthwork which has been scheduled as an ancient monument in Over Stowey, Somerset, England situated on the Quantock Hills. A linear earthwork consisting of a bank with a ditch along the west side running for approximately {{convert|950|m}} from a spring known as Lady's Fountain across Robin Uprights Hill and down into Ramscombe.[1] The earthwork is presumed to be of prehistoric origin and is of unknown purpose, but have been linked to Dowsborough.[2] The {{convert|1|km}} long earthwork has been cut through by later tracks and a road.[3] It is badly eroded in places and is on the Heritage at Risk Register.[4] Part of the earthwork is on land owned by the Forestry Commission.[5] Dead Woman's Ditch is sometimes associated with the Murder of Shirley Walford by her husband John in 1789 but the name predates the murder, appearing on an earlier map.[6] In 1988 the body of Shirley Banks was found at the site. John Cannan was found guilty of her murder.[7][8] References1. ^{{PastScape|mnumber=189513|mname=DEAD WOMANS DITCH|accessdate=4 September 2015}} {{coord|51|08|1|N|3|12|00|W|type:landmark|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Trewin|first1=Jane|title=Dead Woman's Ditch and the Exmoor National Park|url=http://www.everythingexmoor.org.uk/encyclopedia_detail.php?ENCid=303|publisher=Everything Exmoor|accessdate=28 September 2016}} 3. ^{{NHLE|num=1008254|desc=|accessdate=7 September 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/heritage-at-risk/search-register/list-entry/1314829|title=English Heritage|work=Heritage at Risk Register|publisher=Historic England|accessdate=28 September 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Dead Woman's Ditch|url=http://www.whittingham.me.uk/archaeology/dead-womans-ditch/|publisher=Some Quantock Items|accessdate=28 September 2016}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Grinsell|title=Prehistoric Sites in the Quantock Country|date=1976|pages=19}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Prison breaches human rights, says killer of Bristol newlywed|url=http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/prison-breaches-human-rights-says-killer-bristol-newlywed/story-11255584-detail/story.html|accessdate=28 September 2016|work=Bristol Post|date=5 June 2009}} 8. ^{{cite book|last1=Whittington-Egan|first1=Richard|last2=Whittington-Egan|first2=Molly|title=Murder on File|date=2011|publisher=Neil Wilson|isbn=9781906476533|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SZeFTLPGtigC&pg=PT72&lpg=PT72&dq=Shirley+Banks+Dead+womans+ditch&source=bl&ots=iAPhcUvG2F&sig=4PrBZUJenoxoKxeRSUBJPiwmXug&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwje08Hs27LPAhUsLcAKHUgyAlcQ6AEIVzAM#v=onepage&q=Shirley%20Banks%20Dead%20womans%20ditch&f=false}} 3 : Scheduled Ancient Monuments in Sedgemoor|Archaeological sites in Somerset|Linear earthworks |
