Cross Dyke in Cloughton Plantations is an ancient earthwork monument located in North Yorkshire, positioned approximately 550 to 890 metres north east of Gowland Farm. The dyke comprises a linear defensive earthwork consisting of a ditch and bank, characteristic of Iron Age fortification systems in northern England. It is believed to date from the Iron Age period, representing the type of territorial boundary or defensive work constructed by the prehistoric communities of the Yorkshire coast region. The monument survives within the coniferous plantation woodland, where the earthwork remains as a substantial archaeological feature of regional prehistoric importance.
