Argam Dykes is a linear earthwork monument located in Yorkshire, comprising a series of banks and ditches that traverse the landscape. The dykes are thought to date to the Iron Age period, representing a form of territorial boundary or defensive feature characteristic of prehistoric settlement patterns in northern England. The monument consists of substantial linear banks with associated ditches, though the precise original extent and function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation. As a survival of Iron Age landscape engineering, Argam Dykes contributes to understanding of settlement organisation and land division in prehistoric Yorkshire.
