According to E G Papworth, A Walk Round the Village of Over, this is a very old road which may have led to a Norman Manor house “in ye Berrie Yard”, long gone by 1575. It leads on to the beginning of the Great Barrier Bank built in March 1653 by Cornelius Vermuyden. In the 19th century this was the old road to Swavesey.
