Section of the Cleave Dyke system 45m east of the visitors' centre at Sutton Bank is a linear earthwork forming part of a larger defensive or territorial boundary system. The dyke consists of a bank and ditch arrangement typical of Iron Age construction, dating to the later prehistoric period. It represents evidence of early land management and possible settlement demarcation in the North York Moors region. The surviving section at this location contributes to understanding the layout and extent of what was once a more extensive system of linear works crossing the landscape.
