Dykes and aboiteaus “ have almost never been regarded as monuments worthy of study and preservation,
despite their once-crucial function and defining nature in terms of landscape-change; very few are to be found in
sites and monuments records (SMRs), and very few still have been surveyed, excavated, and protected. Their treatment
has generally been cavalier.”

Atlantic-North Sea Coasts." Archaeological Journal 154 (1997).
