A Hay Lot is a portion of common land used for haymaking and assigned by lot or allotment. Traditionally a marker, usually of stone, was used in early agriculture to mark the position of an individual hay lot within a hay meadow.

Today, few such examples remain, but some can be seen in the North Meadow at Cricklade.
