Monument record MHG51469 - Double dyke on north side of Mullans Wood

Two parallel turf and stone dykes, the outer forming the boundary of the wood and the more southern now within the wood and overgrown with regenerated birch. Both dykes have one rubble face, facing in to the roadway, and one side turf-banked. There is also a suggestion of ditching along the roadside. There is no visible road surface. These features correspond to a road or track recorded on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey and subsequent maps, which appears to have formed the access to croft holdings north and west of the wood. The northern dyke also appears to have formed the boundary between Kilcoy and Newton of Ferintosh. A probable boundary stone is recorded on the 3rd edition Ordnance Survey map but was not located during a walkover survey in December 2007. <1>
