Full Description
During a second phase of an archaeological evaluation at Burleigh Farm in 2015 two out of the five excavated trenches revealed a evidence of the same feature. Trenches 1 and 2 both produced evidence for a hollow way with flint metalled track surface extending down through a subsoil and resting directly upon the natural sand. The presence of post medieval brick amongst the flint would suggest that the route was active in, and probably dates from that period. It was then infilled, perhaps in the 19th or 20th century as the hollow became less suitable for agricultural uses and chalk imported to create a surface. (1)
