The line of raised ground marks the route of the abandoned Devizes to Holt rail line. It also marks the southern edge of the Bowerhill Estate. This housing estate is partially built on the site of RAF Melksham. As a result most of the road names on the estate follow an aeronautical theme. Someone with a sense of humour named the rather pointless road shown in the left of the image Brabazon Way.
