Cross ridge dyke known as Gallows Dike and three round barrows 330m south west of Glebe Farm is a prehistoric and later defensive earthwork in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a cross ridge dyke, a linear defensive feature constructed to control movement across the landscape, together with three round barrows indicative of Bronze Age burial activity in the locality. The dyke itself represents a later period of land division and territorial demarcation, typical of cross ridge dykes found throughout upland Britain. The combination of Bronze Age funerary monuments with the later cross ridge dyke demonstrates a palimpsest of land use across multiple periods in this area of Yorkshire.
