[South West] until it disappears, leaving as an only guide a large Collection of Coarse gravel on the almost level ground. Immediately north of Floors Home Farm within a small plantation it becomes again distinctly visible for a short distance and disappears then altogether, or rather becomes untraceable in its further course in consequence of the height of the Crops. |
