Full Description
{1} A pair of ditch-type anomalies (Fig 7, D8), may define a Roman road that continues a road alignment seen within the walled town to the west. It is aligned south-west to north-east across the southern part of the field, ending in a magnetically noisy area, possibly representing ironstone rubble or ferrous and ceramic debris. Anomalies relating to the road continue in Field 5 to the east (Fig 7, D9).
The possible Roman road detected in Field 4, D8, continues into Field 5 (Fig 7, D9). The road is evident for a distance of c74m, but could not be traced beyond the point where the probable ironstone tramway crosses its course.
