A possible Medieval hollow way or trackway is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork in a field north of Knightacott Cross, Bratton Fleming. It follows roughly the same course as the existing road for some 230 metres before fading from view, and may represent the remains of one of the Medieval routeways into the former Royal Forest of Exmoor. Other details: Monument Number 1489051.
