Section of linear boundary in Dalby Forest, 630m north west of Jingleby Tower is a medieval or post-medieval field boundary or land division in the North York Moors. The monument survives as an earthwork consisting of a linear bank and ditch, representing a significant example of the agricultural organisation of the surrounding landscape during its period of use. Such boundaries are characteristic of medieval or early modern land management practices in forested areas, where they served to demarcate property divisions, forest compartments, or enclosed grazing grounds. The survival of this feature within Dalby Forest demonstrates the long history of human land use and management within what is now a working coniferous plantation.
