Summary

Remains of a fenced path aligned N-S along the contour of the W side of the combe. The path is perhaps shown between two boundaries on the 1888 map, but only really survives intact towards the S end, where it may have joined with path 012. The N half has slumped below the field boundary and fallen into the combe. The path survives for about 25m and is 1m wide. Alternatively the line of the path could possibly represent the line of a leat supplying the field gutter system, but without evidence at either end this interpretation is more speculative.
