full title: Ancient Offa's Dyke between England and Wales may be renamed after experts discover it was built 200 years before King Offa was born.

Runs from Prestatyn in North Wales down to Chepstow in the south

If I built a computer using a 200 year old steel case, do I have a 200 year old computer?

The Great Wall of China was basically constructed over 2000 years ago — but if you go there today, you won’t see much of anything that is 2000 years old. It’s mostly Ming and about 500 years old.

This looks like a rather shallow trail or man made ditch. Did this start out as something quite deep and perhaps filled with water? Otherwise, I’m surprised natural erosion has not smoothed out and reclaimed this dug out fissure in the terrain. Every place else is as smooth as a golf course.

I guess the ancient Welsh were homophobic and fled at the first sight of a Dyke.
