The pit alignment forming part of the Cleave Dyke system is an Iron Age linear monument located approximately one kilometre north-west of Dialstone Farm in Yorkshire. This monument consists of a series of pits arranged in a deliberate line across the landscape, a characteristic feature of Iron Age territorial or defensive systems in northern Britain. The alignment forms part of the broader Cleave Dyke complex, which represents an important example of the linear earthwork systems constructed during the Iron Age period to demarcate boundaries or control movement across the landscape. Such pit alignments, whilst less visually prominent than banks and ditches, served significant practical and symbolic functions within Iron Age society.
