You can see the dam or lip of the concaved trail section has been removed, with that material used to raise the trail tread roughly level with the rock feature. With more material it would have been level with the rock, and also much much fatter (not your usual waterbar as used on fire trails).
We could have made this much flatter (or more apprpriately slight more outward sloping), but we were trying to maintain as much of that secondary growth as we could, whilst also reducing the depth that we scraped down.
