DURING A WATCHING BRIEF ON A PIPELINE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE LOCAL FARMER REVEALED THAT THE HOLLOW WAYS AT EACH END OF THE ROAD THROUGH KEISBY ARE THE RESULT OF ROAD WIDENING IN THE EARLY 1920'S. THE LAND WAS GIVEN TO THE COUNCIL TO CARRY OUT THIS WORK PROVIDED THAT THEY FENCED THE EDGES, AND THE ORIGINAL IRON FENCING REMAINS THROUGH MUCH OF THE SETTLEMENT. HOLLOW WAYS PRESUMABLY EXISTED BEFORE THE WIDENING BUT ANY DEPOSITS WHICH RELATED TO THESE WERE REMOVED DURING THE DIGGING OUT. {5}{7}
