[edit] Ceawlin

Richard Fletcher, in his "Who's Who in Roman Britain and Anglo-Saxon England", says that it's possible that Ceawlin was responsible for some or all of the Wansdyke. This seems quite implausible given which side the ditch is on, so I'm not going to add it, just note it here. If I find support for this claim in other secondary sources I will add a note.
