Length of linear earthwork is a section of the Aberford Dyke system located at Green Hill between Aberford and the Aberford By-pass in Yorkshire, England. The earthwork forms part of a wider defensive or boundary system of prehistoric or early historic date, comprising linear banks and ditches that extend across the landscape. The surviving feature is visible as an upstanding bank with associated ditch, representing a substantial engineering effort characteristic of Iron Age or Romano-British frontier works. The monument remains significant for understanding territorial organisation and settlement patterns in the Aberford area during antiquity.
