Full description

Greenwood's 1827 map shows trackways leaving the turnpike road at Gypsy Corner, leading to Bittadon, Little Silver, Halsinger and Metcombe. The 1840 Marwoood tithe map shows only the main road, and the relationship to the existing staggered junctions to Milltown and Halsinger is not clear. Other details: Site 54.
