Full Description
Ditched droves running NE and SE from Gedney Hill apparently orientated on to the church. This suggests church may be built on RB site.{3} The wider than normal, double-ditched drove from the SE extends beyond the Throckenholt RB complex at TF360094, where it forms a single-line ditch along the SW edge. The drove running NE connects with further droves SW and NE of Ivy Cottage, TF350121.{1}{2}{3} No evidence of Roman roads seen in crop or where modern ditches or roads cross indicated line.{1}
