DANES' DYKE, an ancient military work across the Flamborough peninsula, E. R. Yorkshire; 3 miles W of Flamborough Head, and 3 NE of Bridlington. It is 3 miles long; consists of a ditch, with two lines of defence and breast-works; and though traditionally ascribed to the Danes, was most probably formed by the ancient Britons.
