A wide, double banked trackway of probable medieval origin is visible as cropmarks and earthworks on aerial photographs (p1-4) to the south of the deserted settlement described in CIN 1011. It runs for 235m in a westerly direction and appears to continue westward for a further 382m through the trees of Southcott wood as an extant track. The site was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme.
