Full Description
A hollow way that gave access to 17th and 18th century coal mines. At its western end it becomes a terraced causeway. It is probably the original access track to Goyt's Moss Colliery, created when opencast working started in the 17th century or early 18th century. It was probably superseded when the 1759 Buxton to Macclesfield turnpike was built. (1)
