Monument Number 1035037

Hob Uid: 1035037
Location :
North Yorkshire
Selby
Saxton with Scarthingwell
Grid Ref : SE4600036850
Summary : A fragment of boundary in the form of a bank and ditch is visible as earthworks on air photoghraphs. It is similar in construction to South Dyke (Aberford Dykes - LINEAR 75) which is tentatively dated to between the late prehistoric period and 300 AD (Burgess, 2001).
More information : (SE 4593 3691 - SE 4600 3685). This fragment of bank and ditch compares favourably both in dimensions and construction with the section of South Dyke (Aberford Dykes - LINEAR 75) and would appear to be contemporary with it. (1)

A fragment of boundary in the form of a bank and ditch is visible as earthworks on air photoghraphs. It is similar in construction to South Dyke (Aberford Dykes - LINEAR 75) which is tentatively dated to between the late prehistoric period and 300 AD (Burgess, 2001). It is centred at SE 4595 3688. The bank is 132m by 2.5m and lies along the north side of the wider (9.5m) ditch. It is also similar in form to (and almost aligned with) earthworks further south-east that are purported to be a Medieval hollow way (SE 43 NE 16).
