Section of Scots Dike linear boundary south of Kirklands Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a substantial earthwork forming part of the Scots Dike, a major linear boundary in North Yorkshire. The dike dates to the medieval period and represents a significant territorial division, likely constructed during the 11th or 12th century. The surviving section consists of a ditch and bank earthwork that would have functioned as both a defensive barrier and a clear demarcation of land ownership or political jurisdiction. Its preservation as an upstanding linear feature demonstrates the scale and permanence of medieval boundary construction in northern England.
