NH 8676 2211 to NH 8999 2313 a disused metalled track exhibiting no military features.
Visited by OS 21 September 1970.

The military road starts in the area of NH 8678 2213, where it links up with the Dunkeld to Inverness road (NH82SE 19, MR 2). Heading E round the bottom of a slope, it is a well-preserved although somewhat overgrown track, approximately 4m wide. Fragments of banks still exist as well as revetting within the lower slopes. As it passes to the NW of a ruined stone building and then traverses a plantation, it remains the same width but there are few other traces of military features. This stretch is quite muddy and wet in places.
Having passed through the plantation the road becomes a grass- and heather-covered track about 3m wide, running across open ground. In the vicinity of NH 8816 2224 it goes past the remains of a settlement consisting of at least two buildings with a surrounding dyke. The route then crosses a field under pasture as a rather vague and mutilitated track with no military characteristics of interest and ends at Dalrachney Beag. The route then continues E, crossing the A9.
