Tor Dike is a linear earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a bank and ditch formation that runs across the landscape, typical of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the Iron Age or Romano-British period. Such linear earthworks served practical functions in controlling movement across the terrain and may have demarcated territorial divisions between communities. The precise dating and original function of Tor Dike remain subjects of archaeological study, though its physical form and landscape position are consistent with other known prehistoric and Romano-British linear features in northern England.
