Description
NRHE data transfer:
A medieval/post-medieval path or road is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The site is centred at TL 5251 3830 and comprises a linear bank measuring 8m wide which is flanked to the south by a slightly narrower linear ditch. They extend roughly WSW/ENE for 82m, between TL 5248 3829 and TL 5255 3831, immediately west of Place Pond in Audley Park. They appear to correspond with "The Way to Walden", which extended along the northern side of the Great Pond, as marked on Winstanley's 1688 plan of Audley End. A parallel path extended along the southern side of the Great Pond. <1>
This feature was partially recorded during analytical earthwork survey but was truncated to the west by a modern car park. <2>
