A linear feature, visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010 as a straight earthwork circa 3 metres in width, is visible as an indistinct pale mark on aerial photographs taken in 1947. It is aligned with the driveway to the north and falls in the centre of a wide tree-lined avenue depicted on historic mapping. It is likely to be the remains of a post-medieval routeway approaching Bradfield House, part of the designed landscape, and possibly hollowed by use. Clearly defined earthworks are likely to survive. It may have been cut by the possible catchmeadow gutter (MDV108548), but the relationship cannot be definitively determined from the aerial photographic resource alone.
