Urra Moor Prehistoric Linear Boundary is an ancient linear earthwork situated on the western edge of Urra Moor in North Yorkshire. The monument consists of a bank and ditch arrangement that runs across the moorland landscape, representing a form of territorial division or land demarcation characteristic of later prehistoric periods. Such linear boundaries are typically associated with Bronze Age or Iron Age activity, serving practical purposes in defining land holdings, controlling livestock movement, or marking territorial boundaries between communities. The surviving earthwork provides evidence of prehistoric land organisation and settlement patterns in the North York Moors region.
