Dyke 315m E of Tyla-Glas is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference GM260. The monument consists of a linear dyke, a form of boundary or defensive feature common to the prehistoric period in Britain. Such dykes typically served to demarcate territorial boundaries, control movement across the landscape, or provide defensive positions, though the precise function of this particular example remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The earthwork's survival as an upstanding feature demonstrates the enduring physical impact of prehistoric land use and social organisation in the Welsh landscape.
