A hollow or ditch is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946, to the north-west of New House Farm, Mamhead. The visible earthwork is circa 7 metres wide and up to circa 100 metres long. It does not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey. It is interpreted as a probable former field boundary that was cleared prior construction of the model farm in the early 19th century. It is possible that the earthwork is evidence of a former track or road associated with an earlier phase of settlement on this site. The earthwork is not visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2010 and has probably been levelled.
