A hollow way is visible as linear earthworks on LiDAR data. It formerly linked the trackway running south from the lane to a building that stood against the western boundary of a field above Hanging Hill Wood. It may also have joined with another trackway that ran broadly south-west from Ashbury House.
It is also noticeable that it leads into an enclosure which is also visible as earthworks. The field boundary referred to above can also be seen.
