What is recorded here
On the S-facing slope of Bray Head. This track crosses the bank and ditch of Field K (see Mitchell, Hayden and Walsh n.d., fig. 22), it swerves to avoid a long earthen feature of unknown function and then divides into two branches. One branch runs SE towards the 'Crompeol' settlement and the other continues to the W towards the bay of Dunganmore Head where it joins 'Bóthar na Scairte' (KE087-097----).'Bóthar na Iarthair' has been suggested as a name for this track (ibid.). The construction date of this road has not been established. (Mitchell, Hayden and Walsh n.d.)
