Dyke 315m E of Tyla-Glas is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Wales and recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation GM260. The monument comprises a linear dyke typical of Iron Age or Late Bronze Age fortification systems, representing the defensive strategies employed by prehistoric communities in the region. Such dykes served as territorial boundaries or protection against incursion, reflecting the social and military organisation of their period. The earthwork's precise dating and structural composition require archaeological assessment, though its classification as a prehistoric defence structure indicates its significance within the settlement and land-use patterns of Iron Age or earlier communities in Wales.
