Seamer Moor Hill Linear Earthwork

The surviving boundary on Seamer Moor Hill forms part of a wider group of linear earthworks around the North York Moors. Its central earthen bank reaches approximately one and a half metres in height and ten metres in width. Ditches on either side are about seven metres wide and up to one metre deep, with lower outer banks beyond them. This arrangement marks a substantial division in the landscape rather than a mound raised over a grave. Historic England identifies the woodland section immediately south of the wireless-station boundary as the best-preserved stretch. An unmetalled track crosses the earthwork within the woods. Its protected remains can preserve evidence for construction, earlier land use and subsequent alteration, although the available designation record does not establish a precise date for this particular boundary.
