Summary

The line of a trackway has been noted in gardens and fields in this area. Additionally, pine piles were found at the river end in 1967. No date has been assigned to these features, but it is possible that the postulated trackway was in fact a post medieval field boundary depicted on historic maps which was in the process of being removed by the 1940s.

Although the position and alignment of the postulated trackway described above is different, could this in fact be the remnants of the post medieval field boundary shown on (S1) between TG 2072 0563 and TG 2054 0555? Aerial photographs (such as (S2)-(S3)) show that this boundary had been entirely removed by the early 1950s, and the plough-levelled bank could produce a mark or low earthwork much like that of a trackway.
