Description

A road of medieval/post medieval date is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as extant earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located on the south east side of the High Street, Adstock, and centred at SP 73787 29970. This road is visible between areas of ridge and furrow earthworks and probably led out in to one of the open fields in Adstock and possibly continued further to the north east; the parish was inclosed in 1798. A short section of this road is shown on the 1813 Ordnance Surveyors’ Drawing of Winslow and this can also be traced on the Epoch 1 Ordnance Survey map. (1-4)
