The linear earthworks on Row Brow are ancient defensive or territorial boundaries of Iron Age date, extending across the landscape into Raincliffe Woods in Yorkshire. These parallel linear features represent a characteristic form of prehistoric land division or fortification common to northern Britain during the Iron Age period. The earthworks survive as substantial banks and ditches that follow the contours of the terrain, demonstrating the strategic positioning of such boundaries within the landscape. Their continuation into Raincliffe Woods indicates the extent of the original defensive or territorial system across what would have been open or managed countryside in antiquity.
