This semi-circular track encompasses part of Cockpit Hill, site of a former 'minor' Roman encampment. Hollinwood Lane that bisects Ramsdale Park Golf Course in the valley may, it seems, have formed part of a Roman road from Cockpit Hill to Oxton. A half-hidden sign declares this track to Ramsdale Stables (now residential) to be "private".
