South of Pitscottie, now approached from entrance to Kininmonth Farm, to east. Built to provide alterbative route from Cupar to Crail to thatthrought to Ceres; expenditure for a stretch of this road from here (Callange Ford) to Bruntshiels Moss (NO 450 104) to the south documented from 1736. Road made redundant soon after, when traffic was switched to new Pitscottie road by 1817 (Silver). Track/road now fades out a few metres to W of bridge in field, having passed over masonry vault, with drainage holes.
