An earthwork hollow or ditch is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 to 1996 on the south-east-facing slopes east of Glebe Farm, Upottery. The visible earthwork was almost 100 metres long and up to circa 6 metres wide, aligned approximately north-west to south-east. The hollow does not correspond with any former track depicted on the Tithe Map for Upottery, but is on a similar orientation to the former route of the road to the south, prior to its realignment in the mid-19th century. It is interpreted as a former trackway that might have been in general use prior to the 1840s.
The former track is not visible as an earthwork on the most recent images available to the survey and might have been levelled during landscaping to create sports fields.
