Full Description

{1} To the north of the hedged paddock another track leaves the main one, for the first 100m as a hedged lane. It then forks; one branch turns east and joins the hollow-way to Mawsley Wood (HER ref. 4287/0/42). Another branch, much rutted, runs north east into a headland of the adjacent ridge and furrow. The main track continues north, and though hardly visible today as a road on the ground it is marked on the 1746 map as the ‘Road to Orton’.
