The easternmost access route between Linhay Lane (Great Trill) and Abbey Gate follows the course of this railway. Any archaeological deposits along this route are likely to have been disturbed during the line's construction, however the
presence of Tuckers Mead Linhay (late 19th-century in date) should be noted on route at SY29299612.
