Section of the Danes' Dyke between the B1255 and B1229 roads is a linear earthwork of Anglo-Saxon date located in Yorkshire. The monument forms part of the Danes' Dyke, a substantial defensive earthwork constructed during the Anglo-Saxon period, likely in the ninth century, to mark a territorial boundary or provide protection against Viking incursions. This particular section survives as a ditch and bank formation, characteristic of the broader dyke system that extends across the East Riding landscape. The earthwork represents an important example of large-scale territorial engineering from the Anglo-Saxon period and contributes to understanding of regional defence and settlement patterns during the Viking Age.
