What are the dashed black lines on OS explorer maps?

Like there, leading off the bridleway. Looks just like a bridleway but black.

Boundaries, ie county, unitary authority.

it's a boundary - probably a parish one from the look of it. Not a physical feature and, to be honest, a distraction on a leisure map...

I had a feeling it was. Was still hoping it meant super gnarly well drained bridleway though.
