Aldro earthworks is a cross-dyke located on Hanging Grimston Wold in Yorkshire, England, situated approximately 350 metres south-east of Brown Moor Farm. The monument consists of a linear earthwork of the type commonly found across the Yorkshire Wolds, where such dykes served territorial or defensive functions during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. The earthwork's precise dating and original extent remain subjects of archaeological study, though cross-dykes of this character are typically associated with settlement patterns and land management practices of these later prehistoric and early Roman periods. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the National Heritage List for England.
