Section of Danes' Dyke from the B1229 north to Wold Farm field boundary is a linear earthwork situated in Yorkshire, England. The Danes' Dyke is an Anglo-Saxon defensive structure, likely constructed during the ninth century, which extends across the Holderness peninsula and represents a significant territorial boundary of the period. This particular section comprises a substantial bank and ditch formation that survives as an upstanding earthwork across the designated stretch of land. The monument reflects the strategic importance of Holderness during the early medieval period and demonstrates the substantial engineering effort invested in demarcating and protecting this region during a time of considerable political and military activity in northern England.
