Length of linear earthwork is a component of the Aberford Dyke system, a series of substantial earthen defensive works located in North Yorkshire. The dyke represents an important example of Iron Age fortification, constructed to protect settlements and territory in this region during the pre-Roman period. The linear earthwork at Green Hill survives as a raised bank with associated ditch, running across the landscape between Aberford and the Aberford By-pass, and forms part of the wider defensive network that characterises this archaeological landscape. The monument demonstrates the engineering capability and strategic land management of Iron Age communities in the north of England.
