Nevertheless, Fox was surely wrong in his hypothesis that wild, jungle-like forests existed in the eighth century and explained those gaps in the line "from sea to sea" where he could not find traces of the Dyke.
Though Fox was the most environmentally sensitive of the Dyke's students, he embraced the idea of a static and passive natural world in pre-industrial England that reflected the rusticity and simplicity of the land's earliest Englishmen.
Fox was therefore right to stress the importance of woods for the history of the great fosse, but his image of enormous, dark oak woods impervious to the passage of people missed the mark.
