A possible trackway of unknown date is intermittently visible on aerial photographs and images derived from Lidar data as earthworks and cropmarks, between Weekaborough farm and Hardisworthy Farm, Hartland. Three elements of the possible track can be seen climbing the east-facing slopes over a distance of roughly 650 metres, although each visible element is visible for no more than 200 metres. The visible sections are centred at circa SS22392072, SS22682079, SS22902082. The possible route does not appear to respect the surrounding field system which, towards its eastern end is based on the enclosure of medieval strip fields, and might therefore predate them.
