Full Description
SS 69818 39058. Severa hollow ways were noted during field survey in 2017 on the western edge of Shoulsbarrow Common. A given typical example measured 6.9 metres wide, 1 metre deep and 45 metres long. The hollow ways run northeast to southwest from Shoulsbarrow Common towards Wallover Down; they are the remains of routes from farms to the west giving access to the main areas of summer grazing in the former Royal Forest (MEM22088) and may well date from the early medieval period.
