A possible former parkland footpath, terrace or pre-emparkment relict field boundary is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork west of Ellerhayes Bridge in Killerton Park. The roughly right-angled earthwork does not correspond with any footpaths depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map and therefore probably passed out of use before the late 19th century.
