Two segments of a prehistoric linear boundary is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, comprising two separate stretches of earthwork situated approximately 530 metres north and 200 metres north-east of Beacon Farm. The monument consists of linear boundary features of prehistoric date, representing evidence of land organisation and territorial demarcation in the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. The physical remains survive as linear earthworks that form part of a broader prehistoric landscape system. Such linear boundaries are characteristic of intensive agricultural and pastoral land use during the later prehistoric periods in Britain and provide important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and territorial organisation during these formative periods of English prehistory.
