Just to the south-east of Ashe Farm, and south of the bend in the A356 lay lands which belonged to Little Trill in the mid 19th century (see 3.5). If the Fosse Way followed a straight course from Abbey Gate towards Musbury it would have passed through these fields, which were variously referred to as Elfords Lands. As in section 3.3 above, an alternative course would have been along the line of the present A354, i.e. adjoining the eventual site of Ashe House and chapel.
