Double Dyke is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of two parallel banks and ditches that traverse the landscape, characteristic of Iron Age defensive or territorial boundaries constructed across the British uplands. Such dyke systems typically served to demarcate land holdings, control livestock movement, or provide defensive barriers during the later prehistoric period. The site represents an important example of Iron Age landscape engineering and settlement organisation in northern England.
