These bushes/trees are growing on the side of an old railway embankment on one of the farms I shoot on, they have been there for as long as I can remember, The berries are about the size of a black currant and the bushes/trees are about 10-15 foot tall, any ideas what they are please, they look like they are edible but??

Thanks for the replies guys, with a little research it seems there are two common types, American Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) and is used to make jams.  

The European Cranberry (Viburnum opulus) the fruit is described as inedible/bitter and mildly toxic un-cooked, will have to taste next time I am there.
