Full Description
SK 332299: Cropmarks of a double-ditched droveway, 130 m long, from south-west to north-east, visible at Barrow on Trent. (1-3). Nothing visible on O.S. air photographs. (4)
Ridge and furrow to the south of the above feature. Plotted on map overlay, 1:10,000. (5)
An impact assessment regarding the cropmarks has been carried out in advance of the Derby Southern Bypass. The cropmarks complex lies towards the bottom of a gentle gravel ridge and is comprised of a number of linear features which might represent a droveway of unknown period, together with several larger amorphous, patchy cropmark features. The features are indistinct and the cropmarks are not plottable. (6)
