Scamridge Dikes is a system of prehistoric linear earthworks located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a series of dikes and associated boundary features that date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period, representing evidence of land division and territorial organisation in prehistoric times. The linear nature of the earthworks suggests their function as boundaries demarcating land use or property, a common feature of later prehistoric landscapes in northern England. The site contributes to understanding how prehistoric communities structured and managed their agricultural and pastoral lands.
