A pale curvilinear track is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1942 onwards and as an earthwork on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It appears to lead from Pound to the south-west, meeting the road near Freesabeer, although no track is depicted in this location on the available 19th century maps, and it may be an earlier routeway.
