The Bar Dyke linear earthwork

The National Heritage List for England records The Bar Dyke linear earthwork 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 Bar Dyke linear earthwork is a prehistoric boundary or defensive earthwork, not a fairy fort (ringfort/rath), and its function and date remain largely speculative, though it may be earlier than the early medieval period. It is not typically associated with fairy folklore or early medieval settlement remains.
