Embanked pit alignment 130m south and 310m SSE of Jingleby House is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a series of pits arranged in an aligned formation, with associated banking that suggests deliberate construction and organisation characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age activity. Such pit alignments are thought to have served territorial, ritual, or defensive functions, though their precise purpose remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The site's survival as a recognisable earthwork demonstrates the durability of these early linear features across the landscape.
