| Abstract: |
Modern maps of the parishes of North and South Creake show a large area devoid of paved roads with most of the lanes and field boundaries aligned east-to-west, parallel to the possible Roman road called Holgate. Early-seventeenth century maps make the parallelism of this system even more evident, with the makings of patterns typical of planned field systems which have been variously related to Bronze Age to Norman activities. This paper considers map evidence from 1600 onwards, together with thirteenth and fourteenth century documentation, and concludes that this field and road system is certainly pre-eleventh century, and may well be Romano-British. |
