Sunken lane

英语百科

Sunken lane

A hollow way (chemin creux) at La Meauffe, Manche, France
A sunken way, Witley, Surrey
Congostra da Carballa, Ribeira, Galicia, Spain

A sunken lane (also hollow way or holloway) is a road or track which is significantly lower than the land on either side, not formed by the (recent) engineering of a road cutting but possibly of much greater age.

Various mechanisms have been proposed for how holloways may have been formed, including erosion by water or traffic; the digging of embankments to assist with the herding of livestock; and the digging of double banks to mark the boundaries of estates. These mechanisms are all possible and could apply in different cases.
