Full Description

{1} There appears to be a road marked 'To Northampton' on the 1766 map.

{2} North-east of the Old School is a short section of a shallow hollow way running north to south, which appears to coincide with the road to Northampton on the 1766 map. Another low scarp to the south may be the continuation marked 'to Road', but could also be a result of later landscaping.

{3} Aerial photos: NCCAP: SP7653/001-8.
