Nico Ditch

Nico Ditch (occasionally Mickle Ditch or Nikker) is a linear earthwork, six miles (9.7 km) long, running between Ashton-under-Lyne and Stretford in Greater Manchester, England. It may have been dug as a defensive fortification, or possibly a boundary marker. It was constructed some time between the 5th and 11th centuries AD.
The ditch is still visible in short sections, such as a 330-yard stretch in Denton Golf Course. In the parts which survive, the ditch is 4–5 yards wide and up to 5 feet deep. Part of the earthwork is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
==Course==

Nico Ditch stretches six miles (9.7 km) from Ashton Moss () in Ashton-under-Lyne to Hough Moss (), just east of Stretford.〔Nevell (1998), p. 40.〕 It passes through Denton, Reddish, Gorton, Levenshulme, Burnage, Rusholme, Platt Fields Park in Fallowfield, Withington and Chorlton-cum-Hardy, crossing four metropolitan boroughs of present-day Greater Manchester. The ditch coincides with the boundaries between the boroughs of Stockport and Manchester, and between Tameside and Manchester as far as Denton golf course. A section is now beneath the Audenshaw Reservoirs, which were built towards the end of the 19th century.〔Nevell (1992), p. 81.〕 The ditch may have extended west beyond Stretford, to Urmston ().〔Nevell (1992), p. 78.〕
