Section of single linear boundary dyke in Great Plantation, Greenwick Dale, 250m east of East Greenwick Farm is a prehistoric or Romano-British linear earthwork located in Yorkshire. The dyke survives as a substantial bank and ditch formation, characteristic of boundary features constructed to demarcate territorial divisions or to control movement across the landscape during the Iron Age or Roman period. Its precise dating remains uncertain, though such linear dykes in northern England frequently served defensive or administrative functions in relation to settlement patterns and resource management. The monument's survival within Great Plantation provides important archaeological evidence for understanding the development of land division and landscape organisation in this region during the late prehistoric and Romano-British periods.
