Earthworks of two parallel fragments of probable braided trackway of uncertain date visible on aerial photographs at SS 9919 3953. These could be seen running for a short distance (35 metres and 50 metres respectively) parallel to a modern northwest to southeast aligned track which divides Withycombe and Rodhuish Commons. This site was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the Brendon Hills NMP project. [1,2] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project.
