A modern track, apparently unmetalled, probably built after 1961 (it is not visible on Royal Air Force 1946 aerial photographs, nor is it shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:10560 map revised in 1961. However, it is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Outdoor Leisure Map, 1984).
The road is significant because it has cut through and partly destroyed a parallel reave system, together with two streamworks and an attached enclosure. It is not visible west of SX75107366. It forks at SX76057454 and then becomes invisible under tree cover east of SX76057461 and SX76097457.
Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.
