Crop/soilmark: Good quality photography

{1} Two parallel ditches 5m apart, probably a prehistoric trackway. Running east-west the ditches can be traced from air photos from a point close to the River Nene (TL05139145) across the parish boundary with Warmington (TL05549151) to a point north-west of the old railway (TL05869141) where they turn north-eastwards to join a settlement site on the edge of the Nene flood plain.
