This is Hebden Royd FP 125. The walled track, wet and sunken, originally continued up to New Road. However beyond the gate it has been taken into the field. This was probably the access route for Dean Head Farm before Blackstone Edge Road was constructed, and no doubt continued to be used until the tolls were abolished in 1886.
