Full Description

{2} The only surviving remains of the village lie to the south of the main hollow way, marked a-b on the plan (Fig.63). This hollow way appears to be the north-east running branch of that from Yelvertoft. Further east it appears to have run along the top of one of the dams, and thereafter it swung north-east. Its line around Honey Hill is marked by a footpath which joins the modern road to Cold Ashby.
