Full Description
21 June 1978. Visit. Stone Road.
Straight road, continued to Mattishall village on (S1).
Does this and the name indicate a Roman date?
E. Rose (NAU), 21 June 1978.
No evidence of Roman date. Where vanished course leaves present straight road there is no trace in the crop, and at its southern end the course has been built over.
E. Rose (NAU).
1999. Desk-based Assessment.
Comes to no further conclusions about the road.
Shows that line of an early road across Badley Moor at Mattishall could be examined prior to development and its suggested Roman origins tested. Present evidence is circumstantial and not conclusive about these possible Roman origins.
See report (S2). Work also noted in (S3).
E. Rose (NLA), 18 May 1999.
September- October 2009. Metal detecting.
Extensive metal detecting in the area has not produced any finds.
