Cross dyke, situated 200 metres south-east of Hosedon Linn in Northumberland, is an ancient linear earthwork of prehistoric date. The monument comprises a ditch with an associated bank, characteristics typical of Iron Age territorial or defensive boundaries found in northern Britain. Such dykes served practical functions in controlling movement across the landscape and may have delineated agricultural land or served defensive purposes during the Iron Age period. The precise dating and original extent of this particular dyke reflect broader patterns of land management and social organisation evident across Northumberland during the pre-Roman iron working societies that flourished in the region.
