Site of road from Columbjohn through the southern part of Killerton Park. The road was diverted from Columbjohn Bridge to Danes Cross by court order in 1812 and the old route closed. The reason given for the rerouting was frequent flooding, alhtough it enabled the front park at Killerton to be considerably enlarged. The road survived as a farm track on Columbjohn Farm from the bridge to the farm's eastern boundary. It can be traced across Killerton Park to the junction with the old route of the Exeter to Bradninch turnpike.
