Deepdale cross ridge dyke is a linear earthwork located in Yorkshire that dates to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch arrangement that crosses the landscape in a ridge-like formation, typical of cross ridge dykes constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such earthworks are generally interpreted as territorial boundaries, defensive features, or barriers designed to control movement across the landscape. The precise dating and original extent of the Deepdale example remain subjects of ongoing archaeological study.
