Full Description
Potential site of a trackway of uncertain date, visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The feature is generally very straight apart from a single bend towards the western end and can be seen for over 800m. The possibility that it is the line of a modern pipeline cannot be ruled out. It appears to be on the same alignment as the possible trackway described in MDO21624. {1-3}
