Myerscough (/ˈmaɪərskə/) is a hamlet and former civil parish on the River Brock,[1] 14 miles (23 km) from Lancaster,[2] now in the parish of Myerscough and Bilsborrow, in the Wyre district, in the county of Lancashire, England.

[3] Since 1267 the Duchy of Lancaster has had land holdings in Myerscough.

[4] The name "Myerscough" means 'Bog wood',[5] the "myrr" part is pre-7th-century-old Norse for "marsh" and the "skogr" part means a "copse" or "thicket".

[7] Myerscough was not recorded in the Domesday Book but the township may have been the lost village of Aschebi.

Myerscough was recorded as Mirscho in 1258, Miresco in 1265 and Mirescowe in 1297.
