A fragmentary length of track, on the N side of Cnoc nan Rathag (at NC 1853 4862), was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Scourie and Foindle Common Grazings. It was traced for 25m and is 1.5m to 2m wide with a large stone revetment, standing 0.6m in height, on the N side. The track is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet xxx) as extending from from the township at Foindle (NC14NE 10) to a sheepfold (NC14NE 22) at NC 1792 4892.
