Section of cross ridge dyke and earthworks in Roman Plantation, Oulston Moor is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in North Yorkshire. The cross ridge dyke represents a form of territorial or defensive boundary construction characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in upland regions of northern England. The monument consists of an earthen bank or ditch formation running across the moorland landscape, with associated earthwork features that have been partially preserved within the plantation woodland. Such dykes typically served to control livestock movement, demarcate land holdings, or restrict access across exposed terrain, and their presence indicates sustained settlement or land management activity during the prehistoric period.
