  • (155:16) "When we come to the Ring Ditch the stannings of the Power Ring stood up wite agenst the dark like broakin teef"

Whatever made the Ring Ditch was presumably built after our time. The old town center of Canterbury is surrounded by a roughly ring-shaped (but incomplete) wall from the 14th century, but it's hard to see how it would leave a ditch or "stannings," and it is not nearly as big as what's shown on Riddley's map.
