The earthworks of a probable medieval hollow way (see above) are seen on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data (S2-S3). The feature consists of a linear sunken ditch and a low bank. The features can be seen as an earthworks on the 1940s aerial photographs (S2) and on the recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S3). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, the features most likely still survive a low earthworks. The hollow way is within an area of possible medieval settlement features (NHER 65805). The monument polygon has been amended to the location of the feature as seen on the visualised lidar data (S3).
