It was considered the largest man-made structure lengthwise and was hailed as the largest earthwork in the world. It is larger than Sungbo's Eredo. It enclosed 6,500 km² of community lands. Its length was over 16,000 km. It was estimated that earliest construction began in 800 and continued into the mid-15th century. ==Description== The walls were built of a ditch and dike structure; the ditch dug to form an inner moat with the excavated earth used to form the exterior rampart. The Benin Walls were ravaged by the British in 1897 during what has come to be called the ''Punitive expedition''. Scattered pieces of the structure remain in Edo, with the vast majority of them being used by the locals for building purposes. What remains of the wall itself continues to be torn down for real estate developments.〔http://www.beninmoatfoundation.org/clarioncall.html 〕 The Walls of Benin City was the world's largest man-made earth structure.〔Wesler,Kit W.(1998).
