I think you have him there!
rubbish
"high" and "convenient' are relative terms
therefore......
dykes were predated by artificial mounds and hills of which, some remain. the odds are good that at least one dyke would be in proximity to at least one or more of that shit
dummkoph!
i heard of this "raising the bar" as a cunning and insidious tactic to intimidate but never one as outrageous as your demand for "co-ordinates". frikkin stratospheric, ja?
i would be ashamed
but i guessing.... not you

Ophiolite, nah, he's talking crap.
Gustav, the highest point in the Netherlands is a staggering 322m above sea level. I guess that counts as a hill, considering the featureless landscape, but I'll argue that it's not a 'high' hill, and Ophiolite's point is valid.
Co-ordinates are 56°46'N 6°01'E near enough, btw.

Put someone on ignore, and see how. Learn via experimentation. You know, like scientists do.
now!
As in the Groningen marshland area, the oldest settlements in the Frisian area date back to the early Iron Age. This applies both to the central areas of Westergo and to the northern part of Oostergo. In this last area a few very high mounds were created. Hogebeintum, at almost 9meters, is the highest mound in the entire Wadden Sea Region. The Frisian region also saw a broad expansion of habitation in the late Iron Age and Roman times as well as colonization of the newly reclaimed salt marsh ridges in the northern part of Westergo in the Early Middle Ages.
Differences in the physical condition and in the history of habitation made that there are strong contrasts within Fryslân in the appearance of the mound landscape. The relatively farflung high mounds on the curved salt marsh ridge in northern Oostergo contrast sharply with the far more dense network of scattered, largely low mounds in central Westergo and the strings of low mounds on the salt marsh ridges of northern Westergo.
Some mounds are built in an elongated shape, which can also be seen in a few German trading mounds. Holwerd is one such. In this context Oldeboorn is also interesting: it lies on the Boorne, and may well have played an important role in the colonization of the peatlands upstream.
In the Frisian mound district too, dyke building began .........Adriaan Haartsen & Dré van Marrewijk

Gustav said:so ahh
who wants to eat shit first?
Tell you what, if you can point out the word 'hill' in that section you c&p'd, I'll have a bite.
But it doesn't say 'hill', it says 'mound'. Maybe I can forgive you if English isn't your first language, but 'mounds' are not 'hills'.
The village of Hogebeintum, built on a terp (an old, artificially kind of hill which protected the inhabitants against the rising sea in the old days)
drop the semantic meanderings and kindly concede
in any case.....
....i yet have to name a specific dyke as per the original question that is in "close" proximity to hogebeintum. i am just assuming (logically), that there would be one or more, nearby. (google earth sucks!)phlogistician said:
so leave the shit alone for the time being
'artificial kind of hill', nope, 'mound' is a more accurate word. So if the term 'hill' is debatable, the term 'high hill' is certainly not proven.
Nice try though.

Gustav, you link definitions that use terms such as;
"the slightly elevated ground"
and
"a small rounded mass"
and still pursue the 'high is relative' angle.
You are talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time. Give it up.

It's you're a contraction for you are , you illiterate dolt. Seems you spent too much of your youth outside, and not in school.
You talk about me getting a life, yet you waste yours (correct use, of 'your', possessive, take heed) chasing little blobs of light in the sky. That is funny.
And yes, I am an ARSE HOLE. At least I am not a STUPID OBSESSED ILLITERATE ARSEHOLE! Have fun being you, I'm sure it's hilarious.
