A watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a pipeline in 2002 which crossed the route of the probably Prehistoric 'Goatpath' at SX86357645. No earlier road surfaces or features were exposed although fragments of charred seeds were recovered from the buried soil sealed by the hedgebank to the west of 'John Acres Lane'.
Exeter Archaeology, 2007, Archaeological Assessment of Southacre and John Acres Lane/ Whitepit Operational Areas (Bovey Basin ROMP), 3 & 8 (Report - Assessment). SDV339561.
The old John Acres Lane follows the course of a probable Prehistoric trackway called 'Goatpath'. The track linked Gappah to the north, Fosterville, Preston, Kingsteignton and the historic crossing at Teign Bridge. It continued in use throughout the medieval and post medieval periods. The original alignment only survives to the north but it formerly ran between Whitepit Quarry and John Acres Quarry. Remnants of the lane survived until Whitepit and John Acres Lane Quarries were amalgamated. Other details: Site 14.
