The National Monuments Service's description
This gravel road (exposed L 285m, Wth 2.4m, T 0.7m), with well-defined edges, is orientated ESE-WNW. It is composed of 70% gravel and 30% stone (diam. 0.2m). At one point four to five substantial roundwoods were located 0.6m below it in the section face. The road is of uncertain date and may be relatively modern.
