Cross Ridge Dyke is an Iron Age linear earthwork located east of Bleaklow in Derbyshire. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch system that runs across the moorland landscape, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the Iron Age period. Such linear dykes typically served to control movement across the upland terrain, either for purposes of defence, stock management, or delimitation of territorial claims. The site represents an important example of prehistoric land division and settlement patterns in the Peak District uplands.
