High Stone Dike, southern of two cross dykes on Castleton Rigg

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

High Stone Dike is a scheduled monument in North Yorkshire, marked as the southern of two cross dykes on Castleton Rigg. The stone line still cuts across the rigg like a boundary drawn by human hands, perhaps to keep sheep, people or luck itself on one side. Listing the dike does not promise entry, but it admits that the place deserves protection and notice.
The National Heritage List for England records High Stone Dike, southern of two cross dykes on Castleton Rigg as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
