NS 6200 7274 to NS 6300 7287 The published course (OS 25 inch 1957) was resurveyed. No extant of the Wall remains across arable fields, although the line of the Ditch can often be traced as a crop or soil mark, or amorphous hollow. The revised line is based on ground indications and re-examination of the 1st edition of the OS 2 and a half inch map (Lanark 1897, sheet 1/8) which shows the extant line; CUCAP aerial photographs Q30 and U52 confirm parts of the line as do RAF vertical aerial photographs (F22/ 58/ 1453, frame no 0329-30, 1956).
