Castle Dyke is a linear earthwork monument situated in Devon. The site comprises a substantial bank and ditch system, characteristic of early medieval or late prehistoric defensive works, though its precise dating remains uncertain without recent archaeological investigation. The monument's form suggests it may have served as a territorial or defensive boundary, possibly relating to early Anglo-Saxon settlement patterns or earlier Iron Age activity in the region. The earthwork survives as a significant landscape feature, though its original extent and associated structures have been partially obscured by agricultural use and landscape change over the centuries.
