The route of the military road initially traverses an area of afforestation on a rough metalled track which has several early culverts and stretches of stone revettments. From NH 8972 1971 to NH 8293 1986 the road becomes a grass track 5m wide running between stone field boundaries. There is some surface damage caused by farm vehicles. Further W, along the incline to the S of the Allt Lorgy, there are considerable problems along the track due to water and vehicle erosion. To the S of the route is a functioning drainage ditch and in the E section is a stretch of stone dyke to the N of the track and a series of bank runs along the S. Further W loose stony debris covers a series of wooden water bars which have been inserted within the track fabric, but these are probably only partially effective in an attempt to channel water off the road.
