'The Dyke encompasses an area of about 500 acres. Legend has it that the bank and ditches were built by John de Pontoise, Bishop of Winchester around 1284. He was given permission to enclose an area that he could crawl around in a day. In order to obtain the largest possible piece of land he spent 24 hours crawling along the ground. Actual origins are from a grant made in 1213 to Philip des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, of a parcel of land probably previously encroached.'
