Cross dyke 850m WSW of Baysdale Farm is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located on the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a substantial ditch with an associated bank, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such dykes typically served to control movement across the landscape, either for defensive purposes or to demarcate territorial divisions between communities. The earthwork survives as a recognisable topographical feature and remains an important record of Iron Age land use and settlement patterns in the upland regions of northern England.
