Overview

History & significance

Trackways 500 yards east of St George's Church is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a network of sunken lanes and hollow ways located near the village of Chadlington in Oxfordshire. The trackways represent evidence of medieval and post-medieval land use, formed through the repeated passage of wheeled traffic and livestock over centuries, which wore the routes progressively below the surrounding ground level. Such hollow ways are characteristic features of the medieval landscape and demonstrate patterns of communication and agricultural activity in this part of the Cotswolds. The monument's survival reflects the continuity of these routes across the landscape and their importance to the local economy and settlement pattern over an extended period.
