Full Description

Hilltrack (disused).
Indefinite upper end of 1.5m wide, old, grass-covered track, trending obliquely SE down across the contours, around the SW side of a heather and whin-covered knoll. Its uphill edge is cut into the knoll, exposing natural moraine and its lower edge is slightly banked up. It leads down to the enclosure of Feature 035 (above), across a small burn where medium-sized boulders appear to have been deliberately placed to act as a ford crossing point. <1>
