It is not the more obvious route that climbs toward the old Signal Tower nearby, but a separate path running parallel to it, higher up the slope, skirting field boundaries before turning north and then west until it simply fades out.

The track follows the upper edge of a field known as Field E before curving to trace the perimeter of a recorded enclosure, the kind of roughly circular earthwork boundary that appears throughout the Irish landscape and typically marks an early settlement or farmstead. From there it continues westward along the slope toward a place referred to in local or historical usage as Crompeol. It is from this association that the name 'Bóthar na Crompeol' has been proposed for the track, bóthar being the Irish word for road or path. The settlement of Crompeol appears to be where the track was heading, which would give it a legible logic even if its construction date has never been established. Whether it is medieval, early modern, or something older remains an open question.

What makes the track quietly compelling is precisely that incompleteness. It connects recognisable points in the landscape, edges a field, hugs an enclosure, aims for a named settlement, and then stops. The name proposed for it is a piece of local memory trying to hold onto something the archaeology cannot yet date or fully explain.
