also be stated that the invest

"Dyke" has even more divergent
meanings than ditch in Lincoln
shire and bank in Holland. In
Scotland it means a low wall or
fence of turf or unmortared stones,
and in some parts Of northern Eng
land "dyke" is a hedge. Yet there
are other northern districts where it
is a pond. Originally, in English,
at any rate, dyke" or dixie" and
ditch" both mean what ditch still
means to us. But As the digging
out of a ditch necessarily involves
the raising Of a mound with the
dug out earth the words came to
signify ditch and mound together
and eventually in some cases the
mound alone. An even more curious
