Site visit 2nd November 1983. Between SX87017592 and SX86977574, the line of the road takes the form of an untarmac'd track, circa 6 metres wide, with a slight ditch and mound (circa 0.5 metres high) on either side. The surface of the track is very pebbly. The fact that the road forms a parish boundary may indicate its antiquity.
