Summary
Trackway forming the boundary of enclosed land on the SW side of the farm. The track is bounded by two field banks. The inner N one is the most recent and of twentieth century construction. The S outer bank is much more substantial and older, with an outer ditch. It is an original corn ditch boundary. Two stone lined gateways survive, although partially blocked. These would have given access to fields 145a and 146.
The holloway is shown on the tithe map and later maps as a short length of track running parallel to the corn ditch W of the farm entrance. It is unenclosed on the S side. Following recent clearance of gorse the holloway is much more visible and forms part of the South West Coast Path (SWCP).
