A curvilinear hollow is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 as a subtle earthwork circa 5m wide and 110m long, crossing the contours of the north-east facing combe slopes south of Brown’s Farmhouse.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the Tithe Map for West Alvington and are interpreted as the remains of a hollow way or trackway of possible medieval to post-medieval date, probably associated with a former settlement immediately to the west (MDV128853).
