Curvilinear earthworks of banks, circa 2.5m wide, and a ditch, circa 1m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks are visible to a length of circa 220m and extend from the A386, westwards where they cut across Roborough Camp (MDV2366). The earthworks are interpreted as a trackway of probable 19th or 20th century date.
