'For two miles north-east of the Roman fort at Raeburnfoot (NY29NE 5, centred NY 2510 9908) the valley of the Rae Burn offers no convincing remains of ancient roadways. ... A modern cart-track wanders tortuously up the north side of the valley, and only close to the ford and bluff between Kiln Sike (NY 2548 9943) and White Sike (NT 2605 0038) is there any suggestion of a more solid road.'

I A Richmond.

No trace of Roman road in cultivated ground between the Roman fort at Raeburnfoot and sheet edge to W. Course uncertain.

NY 250 990 - NY 2590 9999 No trace; modern track on line.

For most of the length between Raeburnfoot and Craik Cross, this Roman road has been left as a cutting in a forestry plantation, and its details are, in consequence obscured by long grass.
