Bokerley Dyke (or Bokerley Ditch) is a Romano-British defensive dyke {{convert|3.25|mi|km|1}} long in north east Dorset, England, near the villages of Woodyates and Pentridge. Bokerley Dyke may have originated in the Bronze Age or Early Iron Age and formed a political and cultural boundary.[1] It was cut through by a Roman Road (Ackling Dyke running between Old Sarum and Badbury Rings) in the 1st century.[1] In the 4th century it was remodelled and brought back into use, and excavations show that the Roman road was blocked.[1][2] A coin of Valens dates this activity to shortly after 364 AD.[1] It may have been built in 367-8 AD when Roman sources report that Britain was attacked by Picts, Scots and Saxons in a supposed Great Conspiracy.[2] The Roman road was later reopened, but the dyke may have continued in use after the cessation of the Roman rule and still forms part of a boundary between the counties of Dorset and Hampshire.[1] Bokerley Dyke is continuous with Grim's Ditch which runs into Hampshire.
