Original material adapted from Blackwood (2017) and includes information derived from Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 base map and evidence from recent archaeological investigation (Collins 2018, Collins 2019, Collins and Symonds 2019). Attribute table includes information about class (major or mind road), certainty of existence, object length, road name (if applicable), the sites that the road leads from and to and Margary reference number (Margary 1967).
