Danes' Dyke is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date extending across the Flamborough Peninsula in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This section, running northward from the B1229 road to the Wold Farm field boundary, forms part of the substantial defensive bank and ditch system that traverses the peninsula. The dyke represents a significant territorial or defensive boundary, its physical form comprising an upcast bank with an associated ditch that remains substantially visible in the landscape. As a scheduled ancient monument, this section preserves evidence of prehistoric land division and settlement patterns on the Flamborough headland.
