Dyke on S side of Yatton Wood is a linear earthwork located in Herefordshire. The monument consists of a substantial ditch and bank formation running along the southern margin of Yatton Wood. Dating evidence and structural characteristics suggest it belongs to the Iron Age period, when such linear boundaries served defensive, territorial, or administrative functions across the landscape. The earthwork remains a significant example of prehistoric linear fortification in the region, contributing to understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and land organisation in the Welsh Marches.
