Cross dyke on Far Black Rigg is a linear earthwork located in the upland landscape of Yorkshire at approximately 1060 metres north-west of Black Dale Bridge. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch formation characteristic of Iron Age defensive or territorial boundary construction, dating to the pre-Roman period. Such dykes are understood to have served multiple functions within the landscape, including the control of movement across moorland terrain and the demarcation of land holdings or tribal territories. The feature survives as a visible archaeological monument within the upland environment, representing an important element of the regional Iron Age settlement and land-use patterns.
