Rise Dikes is a prehistoric linear boundary comprising a ditch and bank system located within Wykeham Forest in Yorkshire, England. The monument forms part of a wider network of ancient linear boundaries that served to demarcate territorial divisions across the landscape during the prehistoric period. The surviving southern section of this dike system remains visible as an earthwork feature, though its precise dating within the prehistoric sequence requires further archaeological investigation. Such linear boundaries are characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age land management practices, though definitive chronological assignment for this particular example would depend on archaeological evidence from excavation or survey work specific to the Rise Dikes site.
