Hart Leap Cross Dyke is a linear earthwork situated on Glaisdale Rigg in North Yorkshire. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch arrangement that extends across the moorland landscape north of Highdale Farm. Dating to the medieval period, such dykes typically served as boundary markers or livestock management features, delimiting territorial holdings or controlling the movement of animals across open moorland. The physical remains at this location preserve evidence of medieval land organisation and the practical infrastructure through which communities structured the use of upland resources.
