Monument record 4499/1/1 - Probable Medieval/Post Medieval Hollow Way

{1} Until modern development Spratton consisted of three roughly parallel lanes orientated north-west to south-east, and cut obliquely by the Brixworth to Hollowell road. The existence of a deep hollow way at the north end of the village continues the present High Street northwards and indicates that the village once lay on a north-south road which was later replaced by the modern one to the west.

{2} Earthwork recorded by aerial photography. A possible medieval hollow way. NCCAP: SP7169/002-3.
