Summary

A possible trackway of potential medieval to post-medieval date is visible as earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northeast of North Hill Farm. Part of these earthworks are depicted as a trackway on the Parish Tithe Map of 1838-48.

A possible trackway of potential medieval to post-medieval date is visible as earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northeast of North Hill Farm. The two sections of earthwork ditches are curvilinear in shape, measure approximately 320m in length and extend from Witch Lane at its northern extent to approximately ST23350545 at its southern extent. The southern section of these two earthworks is partly defined as a track on the Parish Tithe Map and is contiguous with a linear northeast to southwest aligned ditch which is also depicted as a track on this map.The northern section of these earthworks, which appears to partly follow the course of a natural hollow, is defined by a dotted line of a possible footpath on this map, which may imply a more formal track was once present here as well.
