This cross-dyke from Toisland Wold to Vessey Pasture Dale is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Yorkshire. The monument incorporates a bowl barrow, a Bronze Age burial mound, within its construction, indicating that the dyke was built at a later period across pre-existing archaeological features of the landscape. The cross-dyke itself represents a characteristic form of territorial or defensive boundary marker common to the Iron Age period in northern Britain. The survival of both the linear earthwork and the incorporated barrow provides evidence of settlement patterns and landscape use across multiple prehistoric periods.
