Full Description

{2} In the north-east corner a hollow way which presumably once led to Braunston village enters the site and widens to form a roughly triangular 'green'. From the south end of this green the hollow way continues along the eastern edge of the site, and though partly blocked by a later bank, widens again to form another 'green'. It then continues to the south-east corner of the site where it has been destroyed by a modern railway embankment. To the south of this embankment the line of the trackway is continued by a broad space between the adjacent furlongs of ridge and furrow. Earthwork plan.
