Section of linear earthwork on Seamer Moor Hill is a prehistoric defensive or boundary feature located in North Yorkshire. The earthwork consists of a substantial ditch and bank construction that traverses the moorland landscape, typical of Iron Age or Bronze Age fortification practices in northern Britain. Its precise chronology remains uncertain without detailed excavation, though the monumentality of the work and its strategic positioning on elevated terrain suggest it served either defensive purposes or functioned as a territorial boundary marker for a prehistoric community. The feature survives as a substantial linear earthen mound with accompanying ditch, representing an important element of the archaeological landscape of the North York Moors.
