Summary
Small stone-lined drain aligned north-south under the track bed. It is evidently blocked off at the higher (northern) end. The interior measures 0.35m (width) x 0.2m (height). The discernible length is at least 2m, but presumably it extended the full 6m width of the track bed.

Drain at SX 57707 73111. Small stone-lined drain aligned north-south under the track bed. It is evidently blocked off at the higher (northern) end. The interior measures 0.35m (width) x 0.2m (height). The discernible length is at least 2m, but presumably it extended the full 6m width of the track bed.
Fair, although the higher (northern) end appears to be blocked and there is a build up of turf at the lower (southern) end.
