Full Description
A trackway, with stepping stones crossing the Merkland River, associated with the development of the estate for sporting activities.
The trackway was recorded during walkover survey, but the stepping stones, shown on modern Ordnance Survey mapping, were not located. The path is constructed, with ditching on both sides as it crosses the low wet ground. It is not recorded on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, so post-dates 1879. <1>
The stepping stones were photographed during a site visit in April 2007. <2>
