That designation, recorded on a Longfield map of 1826 now held in the National Library of Ireland, gave the track a certain weight, the suggestion of pre-modern purpose embedded in an otherwise unremarkable piece of agricultural landscape.

The Longfield map, dating to 1826, is the primary reason anyone has paid the route particular attention. The track crosses a west-north-west to east-south-east ridge, and at its southern end it survives as a farm lane flanked by overgrown earthen banks, the kind of sunken or embanked way that can indicate long use. North of a public east-west road, the line continues as a right of way that also serves as the boundary between Corracoggil and the neighbouring townland of Creevy to the east. Townland boundaries in Ireland frequently follow older landscape features, which can lend such routes an air of antiquity even when direct evidence is thin. In this case, the evidence proved thinner than hoped. Archaeological testing carried out at the southern end of the track, conducted under excavation licence 06E0116 and reported by FitzPatrick in 2009, produced no physical remains of a roadway beneath the surface. Whatever the Longfield cartographer saw, or inferred, left nothing recoverable in the ground at the point examined.

What remains is a landscape feature that sits somewhere between fact and cartographic tradition. The earthen banks at the southern end are visible, the right-of-way to the north is walkable, and the ridge the track crosses gives it a certain logic as a routeway. But the archaeological silence at its southern end means the question of whether this was ever a formed road, or simply a path that accumulated the appearance of age, stays open.
