Full Description
November 1993. Visit.
Hollow way. Shown as a track on the 1st edition 1 inch Ordnance Survey 1838 (S1) and current Ordnance Survey, though the former marks the west end as turning south rather than west. This may continue further east than noted. Follows a dry valley (off the River Ouse) and is pronounced.
Becomes Suffolk SMR site STN 037 and joins Downham Warren boundary bank.
Information from C. Pendleton (SAU).

The undated hollow way described above is visible as a modern track on the consulted sources. Banks are visible on either side of the track (although not for its entire length) on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S2), but these may be at least partly of modern origin, created through the use and maintenance of the track. The western end of the track extends into Suffolk, where it is recorded as SHER STN 037. The hollow way or trackway forms part of an extremely extensive and complex network of multi-period tracks and boundaries (NHER 61542, SHER STN 190), which extends across much of Thetford Warren.
The mapped extent of this record has been refined [1].
