The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on Digital Globe (2011-3013) and MapGenie (3013-2018) aerial imagery in rough grazing as a relict trackway defined by grassed-over walling (est. Wth c. 4m) running roughly W (traceable L c.50 m E-W), the E end terminating at an enclosure (CL009-037001-). At its W end, the N wall of the trackway extends NW (traceable L c. 75m) but there is no obvious visible trace of a corresponding parallel trackway wall to its S. Three other possible trackways are present in the area: to WNW (CL009-036006-), NNW (CL009-036007-), and N (CL009-036005-).
See attached image: CL009-036008-_01 Annotated snip from MapGenie (2013-2018) aerial image with trackway arrowed red and nearby trackways to WNW (CL009-036006-), NNW (CL009-036007-), and N (CL009-036005-) arrowed orange, and nearby monuments labelled.
