<p>I am actually a bit surprised by this. It may be a research
related term, but "hollow way" seems quite common in British
English archaeology...<br>

As a native English speaker I have never heard the term Hollow
Way, however reading the description it seems that this proposal
is describing what is called a Sunken Lane.
<br>
<br>
I would avoid cutting as that implies something that has been
cut deliberately for the construction of a motorway, railway or
canal etc.

The map
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/historic=hollow_way#map">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/historic=hollow_way#map</a>
suggests that it's been used in Germany by people who think it's
an English term.
<br>
<br>
It's not really used at all in modern English - there are a few
placenames called "Holloway" (the one in Derbyshire might be named
after the top bit of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/127047259">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/127047259</a> )
so it doesn't really make sense to "approve" it as a tag. If
people want to use it locally - fine - and if renderers locally
want to use it also fine (under the "any tags you like"
principle).
