Former field boundaries and a possible footpath are visible on aerial photographs of 1949 as earthworks, to the south-west of Lobb, Braunton parish. The westernmost earthwork probably corresponds to a the western flanking ditch of a field boundary depicted on the tithe map for Braunton. A cropmark of a possible second, eastern flanking ditch is visible in 2001. The eastern earthworks are not depicted on the tithe map and therefore are probably the remains of former boundaries and an irregularly shaped trackway which had passed out of use by 1841. The earthworks are not clearly visible of digital interactive images derived from aerial photographs flown in 2001, and have probably been levelled by modern cultivation.
