What is recorded here
On the E end of the S slopes of Bray Head. This track is situated to the N of the track to the Signal Tower. It skirts the upper boundary of Field E (see Mitchell, Hayden and Walsh n.d., fig. 22) and then turns up hill to the N to follow the perimeter of an enclosure (KE087-025----). From here it continues W along the slope towards the settlement known as 'Crompeol' where it peters out. According to Mitchell, Hayden and Walsh (ibid.), it appears to lead to Crompeol and hence 'Bóthar na Crompeol' has been suggested as a name for this track. The construction date of this road has not been established.
