Full Description
Roman road suggested by Ordnance Survey map.
16 October 1953.
R.R.Clarke (NCM) found no evidence visible on ground, but noted Street Wood, more extensive on (S1) and tithe maps than present wood shown on Ordnance Survey (now felled).
(S2) marks the east to west road at this point as Roman. This idea seems to have been based solely on the ground that it was believed to lead to Tasburgh fort, then considered Roman, and it is a medieval road.
E. Rose (NAU), 1980.
See NHER 13652 for important reference to Roman road in Hempnall area. [1]'s dissertation refers to the north to south road indicated as Roman? By Ordnance Survey as being called Road Street in the 19th century; it is a hollow way.
The name Road Green on Ordnance Survey however is no connection, it is properly Rode Green, originally derived from Reddings Green.
E. Rose (NAU), 29 November 1985.
