Section of the Cleave Dyke system 200m south east of Yorkshire Gliding Club is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Yorkshire. The monument forms part of the Cleave Dyke system, a substantial defended linear boundary comprising a bank and ditch construction characteristic of Iron Age territorial demarcation in northern Britain. This particular section preserves evidence of the dyke's characteristic morphology, representing part of a wider network of such earthworks that served both defensive and administrative functions during the Iron Age period. The site's survival and scheduled status reflect its importance as archaeological evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and landscape organisation in Yorkshire.
