A hedgebank that formed the boundary between Heybrook (76 on the tithe map) and Western Oldhills (75) survived into the twentieth century, being used by the holiday camp and later military camp for an access road. The bank is aligned south-east to north-west, and appears to be about 4 - 5 metres wide and 0.2 metres high. The site is heavily overgrown, but shows well on the 1993 aerial photograph. Other details: Maps; site inventory no. 009.
