Three sections of curvilinear bank between 6 and 15 metres in width and totalling 740 metres in length are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2007 and 2013. The banks are situated across several west and south-west facing plots south of Buckland Monachorum.
The banks do not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps and cross a number of medieval to post-medieval field boundaries and roads. The historic landscape is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements.
The banks are tentatively interpreted as a trackway or road of medieval or earlier origin that passed out of use prior to the medieval to post-medieval layout reflected on the available historic maps. Alternatively the banks could relate to modern services.
