Two intersecting linear boundaries in Dalby Forest, immediately west of Jingleby Tower is a scheduled monument comprising two linear earthworks that cross at an angle within the forest landscape of North Yorkshire. The boundaries are of medieval or later date, representing either field divisions, territorial markers, or woodland management features characteristic of the post-conquest period in northern England. The precise dating and original function of these earthworks remain uncertain, though their survival within the managed forest environment has preserved them as significant landscape features worthy of statutory protection. Their relationship to the nearby Jingleby Tower and the broader pattern of settlement and land-use in Dalby Forest contributes to understanding medieval resource management in this region.
