Snainton Dikes is a prehistoric linear boundary monument located approximately 740 metres east of Ebberston Common House in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork that survives as a ditch and bank, representing a form of land division employed during prehistoric periods. Such linear features typically served to demarcate territorial boundaries or separate pastoral land use zones, reflecting the organisational structures of ancient communities in the region. The precise dating of this particular dike remains subject to ongoing archaeological investigation, though its morphology is consistent with Iron Age or Bronze Age field systems documented elsewhere in the Yorkshire landscape.
