Full Description
{1} Hollow-way (SP 90957145-91407183) lies immediately south-west of Finedon village within the park of Finedon Hall. It extends from the end of Regent Street alongside a small stream into the area occupied by the former Neasdale Field before enclosure. It presumable represents the line of one of the main through roads of the parish and was perhaps abandoned in the 18th century when the park was made. It is up to 15m wide and 1.5m deep.
