Cross dyke 850m WSW of Baysdale Farm is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch running across the landscape, typical of the defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the Iron Age period. Such dykes served to control movement across the terrain and may have functioned as stock barriers or defensive lines associated with settlement patterns in the region. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological feature recorded within the Yorkshire heritage landscape and forms part of the broader pattern of Iron Age land division and fortification evident across northern England.
