NS 4900 7291 to NS 4923 7287 The published survey (OS 50 inch 1970) was revised. No surface trace across developed area. As Macdonald's (1934) course at NS 4912 7294 was refuted by excavations in 1957 (see NS 4863 7297 and NS 4896 7297), the published line is based on the now proven 1st edition of the OS 2 and a half inch. This indicates the course W of Farm Road, but to the E it has now been modified to conform more readily with the ground contours; the direction change of Beeches Road at this point is probably significant.
