NS 7834 7815 to NS 7877 7820 Published course (OS 25 inch 1970) resurveyed. No traces through developed area apart from a c. 12m length overgrown and denuded Ditch c. 13m wide and 1.2m deep (N side) at NS 7862 7824. The exact course of the Ditch is well defined on the 1st edition of the OS 2 and a half inch (Stirlingshire 1860, sheet 29/10) which shows a distinctive flattened bend at NS 7850 7826. This may be a convenience to lessen the otherwise sharp dog-leg required because the bend in the ridge-line, or it could indicate an unknown feature on the Wall at this point. The new line utilizes Macdonald's conclusions and the clear indication of the 1st edition of the OS 2 and a half inch map.
