My guess is that it is some rocks that have rolled down the edge of the wall of the rille.

Yeah, it's nobody's rover, just rocks. LROC has lots of images of sliding boulders - doesn't even look like a wheeled track (which would be 10m wide anyway), just a series of gouges. There are lots of boulder clusters just like this one along Vallis Schroteri in the 'big strip'.
