Full Description

At this point is the crossroads of two trackways which are the original access routes between the 1840s croft holdings. The NE-SW track is still in use as a path providing access to the hill while the NW-SE track is redundant and poorly defined. The field to the NE of the crossroads is bounded by a drystone dyke in fairly good condition. <1>
