Section of the Cleave Dyke system 200m south east of Yorkshire Gliding Club is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date forming part of a broader defensive or territorial boundary system in Yorkshire. The dyke comprises a substantial bank and ditch arrangement characteristic of later prehistoric linear fortifications in northern England. As a component of the wider Cleave Dyke complex, this section represents important evidence for Iron Age settlement patterning and land management practices in the region. The monument survives as an upstanding archaeological feature that contributes to understanding the distribution and function of such linear works across the Yorkshire landscape.
