A linear ditch is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as an earthwork less than 2m wide and nearly 70m long, to the West of Drakeland Corner. The ditch is interpreted as a possible trackway of 19th century date, potentially associated with Bottle Hill Tin Mine, located to the south-west.
The ditch remains partially visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
