Full Description

{1} A hollow way running south east along the south side of Long Buckby Castle. From there it ran on south east across the line of the present Station Road as far as Benbow Farm and along this section its line is still partly preserved either as a hollow way or as a track. Beyond Benbow Farm it appears to have joined the modern Brington road running south east.
