67. NORTON HEATH, ONGAR AND FYFIELD. 



Whatever may have been the extent of this heath formerly, but little 

 remains of it at present but a few square acres of furze-grown common, 

 left of the Chelmsford road. The subsoil is gravel, and many pits are 

 upon the heath from which gravel has been dug out. Ongar and Fy field 

 are in the near neighbourhood, distant about four miles from each other 

 and from the heath, in such wise that Fyfield forms the apex of the 

 triangular space which they enclose. The country lies high hereabouts,, 

 and is well cultivated ; it is drained by the upper waters of the Roding. 

 The occurrence towards Fyfield of some plants belonging to the chalk series 

 is accounted for by the presence of calcareous grit in the loamy gravelly 

 soil.
