Road

In poor pasture running into raised bog on the floodplain of the River Suck which is c. 500m to 2km to the W. At the NE end a raised track of earth and stone (Wth 3m; H 0.2-0.5m) with some larger stones on the edges is aligned NE-SW (L c. 160m) and is known locally as the nuns' path. It extends SW into a raised bog where it can be seen as a gravel layer (Wth 1.5m; T 0.3m) in the sections of drains, 0.5m below the surface. It can be traced for a further 200m, but a vegetation change of denser heather growth mixed with rushes could extend it c. 1km to where a horizontal beam (L 0.9m; T 0.1m) overlying a gravel layer (T 0.3m) 0.5m from the top of a drain can be seen.
