A Walk Through Time.
This track runs through a field edge in Somerset, it is parallel with Hollow Lane, a road that runs off a hill into the village of Montacute, Hollow Lane is now a tarmac road. In days gone by these lanes would become progressively deeper,as heavy rains washed away the soil, loosened by the action of carts. Eventually the sides of the deep lane would collapse and a new route would have to be found. I wonder if this short section was part of a deep lane that experienced a collapse and that the current Hollow Lane may be the replacement.
