Linear dyke extending for 2.1km from Fryton West Wood to Slingsby Banks Wood is a substantial earthwork monument located in North Yorkshire. The dyke runs between these two woodland areas and represents a significant example of linear boundary construction, likely dating to the Iron Age or Romano-British period, though the precise chronology remains uncertain without detailed archaeological investigation. Such dykes typically functioned as territorial markers, stock enclosures, or defensive boundaries within the landscape. The monument survives as a recognisable linear feature across the intervening terrain and forms part of the broader pattern of ancient land divisions characteristic of the Yorkshire region.
