Cross ridge dyke, 800m east of Bleaklow, is a linear earthwork consisting of a bank and ditch that crosses the moorland landscape of the High Peak in Derbyshire. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a territorial or pastoral boundary feature characteristic of that period. The dyke runs approximately east to west across the high ground, with its physical form comprising a substantial bank accompanied by a parallel ditch on one or both sides. Such cross ridge dykes are interpreted as markers of land division, possibly demarcating grazing territories or defining routes of movement across the upland plateau during the Bronze Age period.
