Contradictory statements

[edit]

In the section, Wat's Dyke today the reader is told:

the ditch long since filled in and the bank ploughed away, but originally it was a considerable construction, considered to be better made than Offa's Dyke.

However in the following section, Dating consensus, the article then states:

Offa's Dyke is viewed as being an 'improved' version, longer, possibly bigger and placed further west in order to acquire more land.

Forgive me but that just does not make any sense. Neither statement is referenced so which is it? Or do both statement negate each other and are both false? I have no idea but I do have enough of a noggin to know when things don't make any sense at all! 31.53.167.1 (talk) 10:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
