Summary
UNDATED CROPMARKS
Type and Period (2)
- ENCLOSURE (Undated)
- LINEAR FEATURE (Undated)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
CROPMARKS ON BOTH SIDES OF OLD LEYS LANE. WHOLLY SOUTH OF THE LANE ARE A SERIES OF PARALLEL FIELD BOUNDARIES. A MAJOR NW-SE LINEAR FEATURE APPEARS TO REPRESENT THE CONTINUATION OF HOLLOWGATE HILL AND PROBABLY REPRESENTS A FORMER TRACKWAY FROM WILLOUGHTON TO CAENBY CORNER. OTHER RECTILINEAR FIELD BOUNDARIES ALONGSIDE THE TRACK ARE VISIBLE OUTSIDE. FINDS OF SAXON AND ROMAN MATERIALS IN THE VICINITY OF THE TRACKWAY SUGGEST THAT IT MAY BE OF CONSIDERABLE ANTIQUITY. {1}
No archaeological features were observed during excavation of this area. {2}
