Two narrow parallel linear features are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of 1950 to 1992, to the west of East Langdon Farm Abbotsham.
The cropmarks appear to be forming over ditched features circa 3.5 metres apart, and can be seen descending the north-east facing hill for circa 80 metres. The date and function of the features is unknown, but the cropmarks might be forming over the course of a track or footpath of possible post-medieval to 19th century date, and could be a continuation of a track depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch first edition map, that approaches the cropmarks from the south-west.
