Monument record 5314/1/3 - Romano-British Road

{1} A side road of unknown date running across the Nene valley towards the Late Iron Age and Roman settlement at Duston. Information about the road layout primarily comes from aerial photographic evidence and suggests potentially quite complex development around a junction between Watling Street (447/1/7) and the road running east south east towards Duston. In the past the suggestion was that junction lay further to the south outside the defended area but recent replotting of the aerial photographic evidence clearly indicates that the junction of the two roads lies within the defended core of the settlement.
