Cross Dyke, located 600 metres north west of Easthorpe Farm in Yorkshire, is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date. The monument comprises a substantial ditch with an accompanying bank, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such dykes served practical purposes in controlling movement across the landscape and may have functioned as stock enclosures or demarcation lines between communities. The survival of this earthwork as an upstanding archaeological feature provides evidence of Iron Age land use and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire region.
