Linear Earthwork, Merrypath Rig. This earthwork spans the course of the old road from Caerlanrig to Eweslees (No.1020) on the E slope of Merrypath Rig, and was presumably intended to serve some purpose connected with it. Its total length is 165 yds., its upper end resting on mossy ground just above the crest of the slope and its lower end fading out some 32 yds. below the W corner of a plantation. The road passes through a gap just above the same corner.
