Woodhouse Moor Rein and South Dyke is a linear earthwork system forming part of the Aberford Dyke complex in Yorkshire, England. These parallel banks and ditches represent defensive or territorial boundaries, characteristics typical of Iron Age or Romano-British frontier works in northern England. The earthworks are preserved as upstanding linear features across the landscape, marking significant territorial demarcation in the region. The Aberford Dyke system demonstrates the scale of ancient land management and control strategies employed in this area of Yorkshire during the prehistoric and Romano-British periods.
