The course of this trackway, crossing the SW flank of Braidenoch Hill, was noted during a pre-afforestation survey. The trackway extends NW from Craigcrocket (on NX58NE 23) along the SW flank of Irongallows, Braidenoch Hill and then over the NE flank of Bennan before descending towards Carsphairn in the N. The trackway served Braidenoch ( new) at the time of the 2nd edition of the OS map (Kirkcudbrightshire 1894, sheet 9).
