The stones on the side of the path here appear to have been previously shaped into large, roughly blocks. It's hard to tell where they came from, but I suspect they are left over from a previous industrial site in the area, which is known as Lawley Furnaces. There was extensive coal (and some iron ore) mining nearby in the 18th & 19th centuries, and the old Image lies not far away, so they may have been part of the trackway for that.
