Parish Boundary I think - not sure what the 'C' stands for though.

County / Administrative boundary

ETA - Ah yes, didn't see CP - County Parish... an invisible mark of much powerfullness. Can magically shrink bridle paths into footpaths...

Its a huge Bridleway and it means you can ride everywhere within it 😉 I wish we were like the Scots in this respect 🙁

Oooh, Parish Boundaries - often incredibly interesting, they record the earliest delineations (not necessarily relating to church boundaries as the name implies) some of them have been shown to follow ancient earthworks and stones.
