A hollow or ditch approximately 100m long and up to 7m wide is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 to the east of Dawlish Lodge, Mamhead. The visible earthwork corresponds with the course of the road depicted on the Tithe Map for Mamhead. By circa 1888 and the publication of the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map, the road has been rerouted to its current route, to the south, and many of the surrounding field boundaries straightened or removed.
The earthworks were not noted on more recent images available to the survey and have probably been levelled.
