Section of an early medieval boundary ditch known as the Nico Ditch is a linear earthwork situated on Denton golf course in Lancashire. The ditch represents early medieval land division and territorial demarcation, dating to the period when such boundary markers were established across the landscape to define estates and administrative areas. The surviving section preserves evidence of the original ditch structure, which would have functioned as both a practical and symbolic boundary marker. This type of linear earthwork is characteristic of early medieval settlement patterns and resource management in northern England.
