In places the track consists of a sunken channel of up to 8m wide with banks on either side but it becomes shallower as it traverses west, descending the hill to the river at which point a raised section approaches the Becka Brook. The track has cut through an area of ridge and furrow at its eastern end. For plan see RCHME 1999.
