Summary

Broad track running N-S along the contour above the W side of the combe. At the S end the track connects with the small bridge over the combe. At the N end the track runs immediately uphill of the remains of a former linhay or field barn (017) and continues NNW into field 139. Here it fades out. The track has clearly been widened with a bulldozer relatively recently, but whether this followed the line of an earlier track is not known. None is shown on the historic maps. The track is 2.5 – 3.5m wide.
