Description

Track aligned NE-SW running slightly downslope to the Rawns. Slumping and erosion have reduced the width, now variable 1.5 to 2.5m, and to the SW leading to the coastal path the track fades out on the slope. Shown on late C19 maps. May have been associated with mining activity. Clearly disused for some time.
