The following features were recorded during a landscape management survey of the 18th-century military road network as described above.

NH 2924 1160 Inverwick Badly degraded and collapsed early stone culvert. IRS010

NH 2916 1166 Inverwick Early square stone culvert, still in use. IRS011

NH 3643 0978 Inchnacardoch Early square stone culvert. Difficult to access but still functioning. IRS013

NH 3603 0981 Inchnacardoch Fine early single-spanned bridge, still in use. IRS035

NH 3641 0970 Inchnacardoch A bank/dyke loops away from the modern track for a short distance over a slight rise to the N. This route might pre-date a later realignment made to smooth out the gradient. IRS039.

NH 3056 1123 Inverwick An early stone culvert appears to have been replaced by a modern plastic pipe at a higher level. IRS059

NH 3027 1125 Inverwick Probably early stone culvert. IRS064

NH 3011 1126 Inverwick Modern ford taking water from abandoned early stone culvert. IRS068

NH 2898 1179 Inverwick Oblique-angled early stone culvert. Barely functioning. IRS081

NH 2881 1199 Inverwick Presently functioning as a small ford, the water levels on either side of the track suggest there is an early blocked culvert at this point. IRS082

NH 2828 1207 Inverwick The terrain indicates there should be a drainage feature at this point. The generally good condition of the road in this area suggests that evidence for it is likely to still exist. IRS086
