The National Monuments Service's description
On the floodplains of the Groody River which lies immediately to the SW. Identified as a roadway and listed as Site C by James Finucane (1993) and described as consisting of a raised platform (L 187m; Wth. 4m at top, 7m at base; H 9 to 6 inches) which functioned as a pathway between two higher pieces of land across an area liable to flooding. Not depicted on the OS maps. The trackway is clearly visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 2018 where it runs NE-SW on the N side of the Groody River and can be traced continuing in a southerly direction on the S side of the river. Outline of trackway clearly visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13.
