Sections of linear boundary dyke in Frendal Dale, Tun Dale, and Great Plantation, between Millington and Huggate Wolds is a prehistoric earthwork comprising fragmented lengths of bank and ditch that traverse the Yorkshire Wolds landscape. The dyke belongs to a system of ancient territorial boundaries, likely dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period, when such linear features served to demarcate land holdings and control pastoral movement across open downland. The surviving sections are substantially degraded but remain visible as earthen ridges interspersed with ditch features, preserving evidence of prehistoric land division and management practices across the chalk uplands of the East Riding of Yorkshire.
