Dargate Dikes is a prehistoric linear boundary monument located in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, England. The site consists of a series of earthwork banks and ditches that form linear defensive or demarcation features characteristic of Iron Age land division systems. The dikes represent an important example of prehistoric territorial organisation and land management practices on the North York Moors, demonstrating the structured use of landscape by Iron Age communities. The monument's precise dating and original extent remain subjects of archaeological study, though its form is consistent with other known Iron Age linear earthworks across northern England.
