The Kepwick Dyke is a section of the Cleave Dyke system located on Arden Little Moor in North Yorkshire. This linear earthwork consists of a substantial bank and ditch that forms part of a wider defensive or territorial boundary system of Iron Age date. The dyke represents evidence of land division and settlement organisation during the prehistoric period, with the earthwork surviving as a prominent landscape feature marking the boundaries of ancient territories in the upland regions of Yorkshire. The monument remains an important archaeological indicator of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in northern Britain.
