A stretch of head-dyke from NC 67395/12343 to NC 67513/12241 of large stones covered partly with turf and heather but not consistent. Quite denuded in places, especially close to burns or wet areas. From the road it continues E for about another 40m but again not very discernible. Up to 1m wide and 0.4m high. <1>
