Full Description

SU 67:
Running from west to east this fragmentary wall starts at NF 78531 14723 at the head dyke SU 84 and runs for 100 metres before it begins to become fragmentary. Its course can be traced in this form for a further 80 metres.
Interpretation: This fragment of walling is linked directly to the bifurcated section of the head dyke SU 84 and may represent an earlier alignment of dyke SU 73 located ca 100 metres to the south. However it may also possibly represent the land division between Bailes D and E.
Impact Detail: The western end od this structre falls within 20 metres of the northern edge of the proposed haul road.
