A line of whin bushes which, when seen from the Comber – Newtownards road, between the Ballyhenry and Moate Roads, looks just like any other field boundary. The current 1:50,000 map and the satellite photograph confirm that they are growing along what was once the railway from Comber to Newtownards and Donaghadee. A comparison with the 1976 one-inch map shows that there is little difference between then and now.
