Cross dyke south east of Uplaw Knowe is a linear earthwork located in Northumberland. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch feature characteristic of Iron Age defensive or territorial boundaries, though such dykes may also relate to later periods of use or refortification. The earthwork's precise dating and original function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, typical of many undated linear monuments in the region. Such dykes often marked territorial divisions or served defensive purposes during prehistoric and Romano-British periods, contributing to understanding of ancient land organisation and settlement patterns in northern England.
