The Northern of two cross dykes on Castleton Rigg is an Iron Age defensive earthwork located approximately 600 metres north west of Stormy Hall in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a linear bank and ditch arrangement constructed to control movement across the moorland ridge. Such cross dykes are characteristic of the later Iron Age period in northern Britain and typically served to regulate access along established routeways or to demarcate territorial boundaries. The earthwork survives as a substantial upstanding feature within the upland landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric land management and settlement patterns in the region.
