Full Description

A short length of a well preserved former alignment of the A830 was noted during the walk-over survey at NM 7133 8515. This is depicted on the OS 1st Edition map but is bypassed by a rock cutting within which runs the modern road. The road surface appears to be metalled and both quarry pits and a passing place are well preserved. <1>
