Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a probable section of Roman road are visible on aerial photographs (S1) within the grounds of Caistor Hall and to the east of the Roman town of Venta Icenorum (NHER 9786). The site is centred on TG 2356 0369 and the road segment is 16m long and up to 3m wide. It possible that this road continued to east to join up with the road segments recorded from aerial photographs under NHER 52257. Although given the features position within the park it is also feasible that this linear parchmark relates to post-Roman activity associated with the Hall.
