(30/05/2008) A number of sunken trackways running across Throwleigh Common, are recorded on 1st-edition Ordnance Survey maps. Vestiges of these tracks survive in places as sunken channels. The clearest of these is just south of a large quarry and ascends the hill to the south-west. Near the modern road parts of this track are currently obscured by gorse, but further up the slope it still serves as an east-west route through the tall bracken in the summer months.
