Cancelled. Crossing two OS 1:10,000 quartersheets, the Cleaven Dyke was originally recorded as a linear feature with separate records for each mapsheet.
NO14SE 80 (Canmore Id: 73146) has been retained as the record for the Cursus.
NO13NE 89 (Canmore Id: 28473), covering the SE end of the Cursus has been cancelled.
Information from HES (Peter McKeague) 14 April 2021
Measured Survey (26 August 1991 - 27 August 1991)
RCAHMS surveyed the Cleaven Dyke cursus (NO13NE 89) with plane-table and self-reducing adlidade between 26-27 August 1991 at a scale of 1:500. The resultant plans and sections were redrawn in ink and published at a scale of 1:1000 (RCAHMS 1994b, 27).
