Hi Eleanor

i was thinking of using Droveway - but that implies going to market
according to the scope note, so have gone for road with notes in the
description.

best wishes

Nick,

I asked at least a year ago if this term could be included in the NMR
thesaurus as we have many in the Lakes, however I think I was told that
it was too local a term? I can't remember exactly, someone may be able
to confirm this? I have had to resort to using trackway and write in our
description that it is an outgang.

In the Lakes it is a route/track from a village on to the fell, often
used to move animals on to the upland grazing areas (or common land). 
Hope that helps!
Cheers,

Eleanor

Hi folks

its Friday, so here goes

2 queries

Anyone define for me what an outgang is - as far as I can work out it
is a route out of a village to communal land (and BTW if anyone knows
of
a good online glosary for Local History/medieval terms that would be
good to know - our hard copy one doesn't have this in)

Secondly, what would I index it as in the NMR thesaurus? Perhaps a
candidate term?

cheers

best wishes
