Field Visit (9 February 2010 - 12 August 2010)
Two parallel linear banks, which may define the edges of a track or holloway, are visible on aerial photographs (2009). Field survey identified two short sections of parallel linear banks just NE of Blythe Farm which appear to define the edges of a track. The track runs approximately ENE-WSW and measures 60 m long by 3 m wide. The banks measure 1.2 m wide and 0.5 m high. The ENE end of the track peters out in improved pasture. The WSW end has been truncated by a farm track but short sections of two parallel banks, probably a continuation of the track, are visible 20 m to the W. At this point a third possible bank is visible suggesting that the track may have branched off at this point.
