Description
2024-2025 Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project.
A series of medieval or post-medieval braided hollow ways are visible as earthworks on 2023 0.25m Lidar data (commissioned by City of London Corporation). The hollow ways run across Deershelter Plain and Sunshine Plain on a NW/SE alignment where they cross Epping New Road. They appear to truncate earlier braided hollow ways immediately to the north of Epping New Road (EHER 81413). These features were mapped as part of the 2024-2025 Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project carried out by Historic England. <1> <2>
