Three Cross Dykes on Middle Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age linear earthwork located in Northumberland. The monument comprises three parallel banks and ditches that run across the hillside, representing a form of territorial or ceremonial boundary marker characteristic of prehistoric Britain. Such dyke systems are thought to have functioned as territorial dividers, stock enclosures, or processional ways, though their precise original function remains uncertain. The site's archaeological significance lies in its preservation as an example of large-scale prehistoric earthmoving and landscape organisation in the northern English uplands.
