NT 635 806 Cart tracks
Sponsor: Historic Scotland
GUARD 1996
Cart tracks are cut into the rocky foreshore and are visible for a distance of 17m. The tracks are a maximum depth of 0.10m and 1.80m wide, with a distance of 1m between the tracks. They probably linked up with the track that leads through Links Wood to the shore. The tracks were to facilitate access to the shore by carts collecting seaweed in the 18th and 19th century.
Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 16th February 1996.
