A road is shown on the tm running from st19300713 to st20210738. Much of the line of this road is shown by field boundaries on one side or the other of its former route. It runs along the s side of "the park" belonging to upottery manor. This road was closed and a new one constructed further s (going past spurtham cottages and hill view) when the park was created (emafu). Vis=15/9/1992 (simpson + noble) through the park the lane is visible as a slight hollow way with hedgebanks each side. Beyong the limits of the park the road is not easily recognised.

Earthwork ditches and banks of a former road of between medieval to post-medieval date are visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the southwest of Upottery. The route of the road is depicted here on the Parish Tithe map of approximately 1838-48. It stretches from the main village through-road, on the southern edge of Upottery at ST20150749, from where it continues in a broadly southwesterly direction, dog-legging through The Park, before terminating at the intersection with New Road, to the northeast of Budgells Farm at ST19300713. The route of the road, which measures approximately 1.14km in length, predominately follows along the edge of field boundaries defined as ‘post-medieval enclosures’ and ‘parkland’ in the Historic Landscape Characterisation project. Sections of this former road remain visible on the Second Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1904-06, although little now survives on modern digital mapping. The route of the former road remains largely visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
