Double Dyke is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises two roughly parallel ditches with associated banks, characteristic of Iron Age territorial or defensive systems in northern England. Such dyke systems typically date to the later prehistoric period and served to divide or demarcate land, control livestock movement, or mark boundaries between communities. The earthwork survives as a substantial archaeological feature, with its dual linear form remaining visible in the landscape and providing evidence of Iron Age land organisation and resource management in the region.
