Section of linear boundary dyke between Sylvan Dale and Warren Farm, north west of Coldwold Farm is a prehistoric linear earthwork located in Yorkshire. The dyke forms part of a larger system of boundary demarcation characteristic of the Bronze Age or Iron Age periods, when such linear features were constructed across the landscape to define territorial limits or control movement of livestock and people. The monument survives as a substantial bank and ditch, visible in the topography of the landscape between the named locations. Such dykes represent important evidence of early land division and the organisation of communities during the later prehistoric period in northern England.
