Surface of former drove road

The picture was taken from about the same spot as Image, but the present view is in the opposite direction (uphill). A burn flows along this part of the route, and at this point it allows a view beneath the vegetation cover: the surface rather resembles crude paving slabs. Whether they date from the period when this was a drove road, or from recent times, I cannot say.
