Steeple Cross Dyke is a section of the Cleave Dyke system located on Arden Little Moor in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises an earthwork dyke with an associated boundary stone known as Steeple Cross, which marks the course of this linear defensive or territorial feature. The dyke system is believed to date from the Iron Age, representing an important element of ancient landscape management and territorial demarcation in the region. The surviving earthwork remains visible as a substantial bank formation across the moorland, whilst the boundary stone serves as a fixed marker of historical and archaeological significance within this complex of prehistoric linear earthworks.
