A cross-dyke in Vessey Pasture Dale is a linear earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. This monument consists of a bank and ditch that runs across the landscape, typical of cross-dykes constructed during the Iron Age or Romano-British period as territorial boundaries or defensive barriers. Such earthworks served practical functions in landscape division and control of movement through upland terrain.
