Full Description
{1} Hollow-Ways (SP 858720, 862721, 863723), lie in three places around the existing village and radiate from it. They represent the lines of long-abandoned medieval roads which once gave access to the fields of Orlingbury. One, S.W. of the village, passing through ridge-and-furrow, is little more than a shallow depression. Another, S.E. of Orlingbury Hall, is well-marked, up to 1.5 m. deep. The third, N.E. of Home Farm, has recently been destroyed by ploughing.
