Section of double linear boundary dyke west of Far Out Field, Millington Wold is a prehistoric earthwork comprising two parallel linear ditches and banks situated on the Yorkshire Wolds. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a significant example of boundary demarcation from this period, likely serving to define territorial divisions or control movement across the landscape. The double linear form is characteristic of certain Iron Age or late Bronze Age boundary systems found across northern England, where such dykes often extended for considerable distances across open downland. The site's location on the Wolds reflects the importance of this chalk upland region for pastoral and settlement activity during the later prehistoric period.
