Prehistoric linear boundary in Ellerburn Wood is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of a linear earthwork of prehistoric date located in North Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of a bank and ditch that served a boundary function during the prehistoric period, though its precise chronology within prehistory remains uncertain. Such linear boundaries are characteristic of later prehistoric landscapes in northern England, where they typically demarcated territorial divisions, land holdings, or stock management systems. The feature survives as an upstanding earthwork within the woodland setting, preserving archaeological evidence of prehistoric land organisation and settlement patterns in this region.
