Summary

A possible former trackway, driveway or road was visible as an irregular earthwork ditch to the south–west of Strete Ralegh, Whimple, on aerial photographs of 2000 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005. A shallow earthwork ditch is likely to survive.

A possible former trackway, driveway or hollow way of probable medieval to 19th century date was visible as an irregular earthwork ditch to the south–west of Strete Ralegh, Whimple, on aerial photographs of 2000 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005.
The possible route can be seen as a shallow earthwork ditch or hollow up to circa 7 metres wide orientated roughly west to east from Strete Ralegh Farm to Strete Ralegh House. It does not correspond with any routes depicted on the Tithe Map or Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map, but does appear to possibly be aligned upon a track at its western end. It is possible that the route was removed or rerouted during landscaping associated with Strete Ralegh House. The earthwork banks and ditches are likely to survive as low earthworks.
