Cross dyke centred 480m south of Fox and Rabbit Farm is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of a bank and ditch barrier that crosses the landscape, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the pre-Roman Iron Age period. Such dykes typically served to control movement across the terrain, whether for stock management, defence, or demarcation of land holdings. The earthwork survives as a substantial archaeological feature and remains an important example of Iron Age land division and settlement organisation in the Yorkshire landscape.
