Devil's Dyke is the earthwork of a major Iron Age oppidum — one of the largest pre-Roman settlements in Britain — located on the western edge of Wheathampstead. Properties close to the earthwork are within a Scheduled Ancient Monument area and, in some cases, a conservation area. This affects planning for external works including boiler flues and visible pipework. We advise on consent requirements before starting work on properties in and around the scheduled area.
