Nutholm cross dyke is a linear earthwork monument located near Appleton Mill Farm in Yorkshire. The dyke represents a characteristic example of cross-ridge defensive or territorial boundaries, typically constructed during the Iron Age or Romano-British period, though precise dating for this particular example requires archaeological evidence. The monument survives as an earthen bank, likely originally accompanied by a ditch, which would have served to demarcate land divisions, control movement across the landscape, or provide defensive functions. Such dykes are common features in the Yorkshire archaeological landscape and contribute to understanding settlement patterns and land use in antiquity.
