A dark sinuous cropmark of a levelled ditch is visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1989, to the north of Purcombe Cross, Woodland. The cropmark, which is broadly northwest to southeast aligned and measures approximately 7m in width by 80m in length, does not correspond with any features shown on the 1840 Parish Tithe Map, or on subsequent available historic maps. It is however, situated in-between two roads shown on these maps which intersect at Purcombe cross. The cropmark is therefore tentatively interpreted as the remains of a former trackway of pre-enclosure date which had passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century. No continuation of this possible trackway is visible on the available aerial imagery.
