Type and Period (1)
- HOLLOW WAY (Medieval - 1066 AD? to 1539 AD)
Description
The National Trust Survey of Stowe undertaken in 1989 moted two linear depressions running roughly N-S, with one cut by a modern gravel pit. They may be trackways from Stowe village to the contracted hamlet of Lamport (B7).
Earthwork survey and research by English Heritage and University of Leicester for the Whittlewood Project suggests that Lamport may have developed in the late Saxon period as a small market centre along a major route (B14).
